Those Alt history things are fun. I always just said Wilson was horrible for getting into the war...but...I never thought about the 3 way election. They make a good case for TR winning and us getting into the war early and ending it sooner...possibly avoiding the problem of harsh German reparations that destroyed their economy and set the stage for the National Socialist movement and Hitler. They also make a decent point that Lenin may not have appeared with Russia coming out winners with far less collateral damage. The Bolsheviks probably could not have gained a foothold with a quicker and less painful war.
