And Cleveland was from NY State.
The American Experience special on FDR got the origin of his party affiliation WRONG - he did NOT become a Dem to avoid TR's kids - he was a Dem because his dad had been one.
Rumor has it that Cleveland told FDR that he wished for him that he never live in the White House.
