Talk:List of Presidents of the United States of America (Federation of Nations)

Politics
I think you make the mistake of equating modern sensibilities with past politics. The Republicans pre-the election of 1912 OTL were the Progressive party by and large with a minority conservative, whereas the Democrats pre-1912 could far more be considered the Conservative group. When T.R. split the vote in the election 1912, he pulled the Progressive Republican vote, and when he lost, the Progressives were rooted out of the mainstream GOP and then the GOP became the Conservative group, whereas the Democrats after that became more and more the Progressives and Social Liberals. So everything after Taft is fine (except Dewey was a Liberal Republican so I doubt he'd stay in a party that called itself the Conservatives), but I really don't think that the OTL Republicans would be in the Conservative Party, so I would suggest that be renamed pre-Taft with perhaps a "Conservative Party" forming from it at some point during or after Taft. Though I really think without the ability of TR to run against Taft, the Democrats would stay the conservative most group.--66.66.212.182 02:36, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
