He also served as the campaign manager for conservative Senator Robert Taft in Taft's 1952 presidential campaign.

Every time has it's own peculiarities, and Taft and Lincoln were men of their time, as John F.

It is easy to say that because TV would preclude Taft today due to his weight, but of course Obama would not have won in Taft's time due to his ethnicity.

For a tiny US example: look at the Taft and Ellington Bridges in Washington State.

Ask your average person the difference between the accomplishments of McKinley, Harding, or Taft and they'll just stare at you and drool.

I had a thought reading about the Taft and Lincoln anecdotes.

We've talked to Tucker Taft about Ada and Rust before, though it was a while ago and I mostly recall that we discussed aspects of Ada's standardization process (I think Graydon was a fan of Ada's spec).

Zachary Taylor* US Grant* Chester A Arthur (if you don't count VP) Taft (if you don't count appointed governorship of territories) Hoover (if you don't count VP) Eisenhower* HW Bush was barely a representative (2 terms, most well known as CIA director prior to VP).

Obama - Law Bush - Business Clinton - Law Bush - Business Reagan - Actor Carter - Nuclear Engineer & Farmer Ford - Law Nixon - Law LBJ - HS Teacher JFK - Econ Ike - Military Truman - No degree FDR - Law Hoover - Engineer Coolidge - Law Harding - Journalist Wilson - Law Prof Taft - Law Teddy Roosevelt - History & Politics Law is clearly the modal occupation for presidents, but there's some diversity.

So-called "closed shops," in which union membership was a precondition of employment, have been illegal since Taft-Hartley.

> Right to Work is a euphemistic term for "employees cannot be required to join a labor union." I thought forcing someone to join a labor union as a condition of employment was illegal under Taft-Hartley across the entire U.

Wilson beat him handily, but Roosevelt still outpolled the GOP candidate, WH Taft.

If during Taft's time the electorate was entirely unconcerned by race or religion, I wonder how Kennedy and Obama would have fared.

Taft was over 300 lbs when he was elected president.
