You should be a huge Al Smith fan. He was the last Democrat that a conservative could have supported!
Liberals though said that Smith was jealous of FDR's success in politics and turned against the master for petty reasons. Smith did support Alf Landon in 1936. Smith was personally crushed that NY state supported Hoover in 1928.
I would (and will) vote for Zell Miller if he was running against someone like Liddy Dole, John McCain, Arlen Spectre, etc.
