1. No, even though Eleanor tried to kiss and make up.

FDR was a shit to Farley in '40.

Bess Farley: She's the only heart FDR has.

5. No, FDR did. Everybody thought so.
Imagine having the former NYS Boxing Commissioner as President!

As Postmaster General, he tarted up the stamps produced knowing FDR was a stamp collector.

2. wyldwolf...
I've learned so much here on DU. I admit that I'm newly following politics. I actually enjoyed reading about this guy on wikipedia.

No mention of a party, I guess it's not important in the grand scheme of things. They mentioned a lot of other stuff though! :shrug:

4. No, actually he opposed FDR running for a third term and wanted to be president himself in '40

6. FDR's wanting to be "nominated by proclamation" didn't help! nt
