Sunny Jim: James Schoolcraft Sherman
Manage episode 264959119 series 2712936
Years before Dick Cheney, a VP with his own politics and power base would emerge. A brake to Taft's progressive tendencies and a token to conservative Old Guard Republicans, James Schoolcraft Sherman may have had more influence over the inexperienced and reluctant President Taft than has been widely known. He helped pull the Taft Administration away from Rough Riderism. And in one political battle he took on Ex-President Roosevelt himself, years before his boss would have to. He's known in history for his optimism and changing the Electoral College records forever. Music by Lee Rosevere and Chris Zabriskie
