Smith Has Slim Chance in Race for White House
Smith faces a narrow path for the Democratic nomination as Republicans hold broad electoral strength. The piece argues New York alone cannot win the presidency, notes Hoover’s broad appeal, and outlines plausible state-by-state gains and deficits to reach the 266 electoral votes needed. It assesses Smith’s weak support base, limited issues, and the improbability of broad national appeal beyond prohibition and farm questions. It evaluates potential mappings of eastern, southern, and western states to reach victory.
