The '''[[U.S. presidential election]] of [[1908]]''' was not a close race. Popular incumbent [[President of the United States|President]] [[Theodore Roosevelt]], honoring a promise not to seek a third term, annointed [[William Howard Taft]] as his successor. The Democrats nominated a candidate, [[William Jennings Bryan]], who had been defeated in two previous outings against Republican [[William McKinley]]. Taft defeated Bryan in a landslide.
