Al Smith

Alfred Emanuel Smith, commonly known as Al Smith, is an American statesman and potential candidate for the Democratic Party in the 1932 Presidential elections. Despite his economic ideas being described as lukewarm in comparison to the reformist ideas of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the radical ideas of Huey Long, Smith still believes he has a strong potential to be nominated. The former Governor of New York was the unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic Party in 1928 against Herbert Hoover, but given the President's sour track record as of late, Smith believes a second attempt at a run would turn the tide and could see a President Smith later than hoped.
