nov 6, 1928 - Herbet Hoover Elected President

Description:

In November, Herbert Hoover and Charles Curtis easily defeat Al Smith and Joseph Robinson, promising a great program of rail and other construction to combat unemployment. The Socialist Party, running Norman Thomas, takes several midwestern states, though not enough to keep the Republicans from a majority of electoral votes. Jack Reed runs for Senator in New York to support the bid, and is swept into power in an upset.
