What is there to say about Senator Harding? Not a lot, actually.

Harding is a Senator from Ohio, good at keeping a low profile, and his campaign manager, Harry Daugherty expects to win him the nomination through a struggle at the convention. He will have tread lightly and avoid making enemies before the convention opens up in Chicago come June.

If nominated, the hard part would be over. Harding would benefit from economic uncertainty, an unpopular President, and a proposed peace treaty which has harmed the goodwill many Irish and Germans had for President Wilson. Harding will have to build a national profile and keep the campaign as safe as possible.

Retaining these majorities, Republicans will elevate you to the Presidency. Good luck these next four years!

James Cox is the Governor of Ohio, a progressive with a strong track record, and an ally of President Wilson. A shame he ran for the Presidency this year.

Cox will first have to secure the nomination against William Gibbs McAdoo and Attorney General Palmer, then stage a strong defense against the Republicans. Cox must make amends with many traditionally Democratic groups that Wilson may have fractured support from - namely immigrants from Ireland and Germany.

Cox will also have to press backing from Democratic leaders who have a lack of confidence in the ticket's ability to win, and if nominated, try to avoid an electoral massacre and the blame that would come with it.

Calvin Coolidge is the Governor of Massachusetts, and not your first pick for sure. He's as conservative as you, and hails from the eastern part of the country. His home state, Massachusetts, is not particularly competitive, but many Republicans love the administration he has run.

His conservative views mean that his nomination shall signal that you’ll be doubling down on your conservative credentials, which will alienate progressives. However he has little baggage, and with his popularity among the rank and file Republicans as seen at the convention, he may in fact be a safe choice.

Irvine Lenroot is the progressive, but not radical senator from Wisconsin. Lenroot was once allied closely with La Follette, but broke with him when he voted for the war, causing him to have to win renomination against a La Follette backed challenger.

Lenroot will be able to shore up support from progressives, and provide much needed ideological balance to boot. There’s just one drawback - there’s little enthusiasm for him now as many rank and file members of the party wanted Coolidge for the vice presidential nomination. It doesn’t matter now however. Now, let’s get this campaign going!

Franklin Roosevelt is, on paper, a great running mate - he's young, supports the League but is willing to work to find a compromise, and has executive experience. He has been Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and had held the job of coordinating the deployment of the US Navy during the Great War.

However, Roosevelt has yet to hold elected office outside of a brief tenure in the New York State Senate, and he is rather young - being only 38 years old. Additionally, his ties to the Wilson administration may also be of concern, especially regarding foreign intervention.\", \"candidate_score\": 0.0}}, {\"model\": \"campaign_trail.candidate\", \"pk\": 147, \"fields\": {\"first_name\": \"James Hamilton\", \"last_name\": \"Lewis\", \"election\": 14, \"party\": \"Democrat\", \"state\": \"Illinois\", \"priority\": 10, \"description\": \"'\", \"color_hex\": \"#0000FF\", \"secondary_color_hex\": \"#90C0FF\", \"is_active\": 0, \"image_url\": \"https://itsastronomical.com/assets/1920/lewis.png\", \"electoral_victory_message\": \"'\", \"electoral_loss_message\": \"'\", \"no_electoral_majority_message\": \"'\", \"description_as_running_mate\": \"

A lot can be said about J.H Lewis. He's served two states in Congress - Washington in the House, and then later Illinois in the Senate. He supported Wilson's 'New Freedom' agenda and was crucial to getting it passed. Before his electoral defeat in 1918, he was in a leadership position for the Democratic Party in the Senate as Majority Whip.

Lewis would be a good pick to find the right balance between showing support for Wilson and his administration and moving the focus towards yourself. Of course, Lewis is not as young as Roosevelt, and some think New York would be easier to win than Illinois.
