Man, Nixon and Obama with the Cinderella runs.
Obama over Washington isn't quite FDU over Purdue but it definitely has to be an upset. It's interesting to see TR topping his cousin FDR - the power of the moustache.
🙄 That's a nice over-simplification, handy to paint one side as 'good' and the other 'bad'. It
perfectly explains why, after the 1930s, Republican strongholds like California and Indiana did not suddenly become dominated by Democrats (or the strongly Democratic southern states become suddenly dominated by Republicans). Yes, the Republican progressives (which were already a minority in the Republican Party) started leaving the party quicker during FDRs Presidency (the last of them left in the 1960s) and the conservatives in the Democratic Party (which were already in the minority in the party) started leaving the party quicker (the last of them also left in the 1960s). All of this contributes to the perspective of the end of bipartisanship (in reality, progressive Democrats had to fight with conservative Democrats and reach across to progressive Republicans to achieve policy goals; vice-versa in the Republican Party).
