[edit] Incorrect Popular Vote % for Wilson

The popular vote totals are listed accurately at both the header graphic and table and the more complete table, but the % for candidate Wilson is improperly listed as 31.8%, when it was in the low 40's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.194.72.10 (talk) 23:36, 17 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Electoral picture peculiarity

Why is the graphic depiction of electoral votes skewed? Rarely nowadays does one see democratic votes colored red and and republican votes blue. --maru (talk) Contribs 20:53, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eugene Debs

Why is there no mention of third party socialist candidate Eugene Debs? I don't have enough expertise to update the article, but it seems like that should be adressed. -- 66.193.73.85 18:14, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

This page is hard to get to. If I type in "U.S. Presidential Election of 1912", no articles come up. But if I type in the same thing in Google, then the article does come up. Which is good, but the same thing should happen in Wikipedia.

[edit] Assassination attempt

While campaigning in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, TR was shot by saloonkeeper John Schrank in a failed assassination attempt on October 14, 1912. With the bullet lodged in his chest, Roosevelt delivered his scheduled speech. He was not seriously wounded (the bullet's progress was slowed by hitting a copy of the speech he was carrying in his jacket), although his doctors thought it too dangerous to attempt to remove the bullet; Roosevelt carried it with him until he died.

This should be in the main text, but I'm not sure where to put it. Any thoughts? Calbaer 16:30, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Richard M. Johnson

Aricle says Sherman was the first VP to be renominated (for reelection) since Richard M. Johnson (in 1840). However, Johnson wasn't renominated, the Democrats in 1840 left their vice presidential nomination vacant. GoodDay (talk) 19:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
