Okay, here's the idea... American Presidents from an alternate dimension! So you see, here we have BIZARRO LINCOLN!!!

No, of course I'm only kidding. What I really mean is the Presidents that might-have-been. Either Presidents who lost in a close race or men who, had they been selected as a candidate, would've won in a landslide. Useful for alternate history scenarios (especially for me) and for those starry-eyed dreamers who wished things had come out differently... so here we go.

19th Century

BIZZARO Henry Clay! Doesn't he sort of look like the crypt keeper?

BIZZARO Robert La Follette! He looked plenty bizarre in real life.

BIZZARO Henry Ford! Yup, he was a possibility in 1924.

Yeah, but I don't think Mondale ever really had a shot at winning.

And yeah, it is a lot of democrats because there have been considerably more Republican Presidents, and most of these are the guys who lost. But remember... up until the beginning of the 20th century, the Democrats were the conservatives... ;)

But of the ones I have here who never actually were candidates all but Huey Long were Republican.
