Summary: Charles Evans Hughes was called the 'Tuesday President' after he was first declared the winner over President Woodrow Wilson and then, by just 3,400 votes in California including war-weary westerners, upset TR voters and women voters who hadn't yet earned the right to vote in other states, America barely endorsed its President. When word reached the President of his miracle win, he was not as excited about being the first Democrat re-elected in consecutive terms since Andrew Jackson as you might expect. We look at that election and the ONE thing about this election that makes it different from all the rest; something that might have consequences for 2012.
