(1912) Woodrow Wilson wins US presidency in landslide
Wilson, a Democrat, coasts to victory over not one but two former presidents, amassing 435 electoral votes. Republican incumbent William Howard Taft gets a measly eight electoral votes; Teddy Roosevelt, the Progressive Party candidate, claims 88. . 1912

The United States presidential election of 1912 was the 32nd quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 5, 1912. The election was a rare four-way contest. Incumbent President William Howard Taft was renominated by the Republican Party with the support of its conservative wing. After former President Theodore Roosevelt failed to receive the Republican nomination, he called his own convention and created the Progressive Party. It nominated Roosevelt and ran candidates for other offices in major states. Democrat Woodrow Wilson was finally nominated on the 46th ballot of a contentious convention, thanks to the support of William Jennings Bryan, the three-time Democratic presidential candidate who still had a large and loyal following in 1912. It is the last election in which a former, or incumbent, President ran for the office without being nominated as either a Democrat or Republican. It is also the last election in which an incumbent President running for re-election failed to finish either first or second in the popular vote count.

Michael Moorer vs. George Foreman, billed as “One for the Ages”, was a professional boxing match contested on November 5, 1994 for the WBA, IBF and Lineal Heavyweight championships. On April 22, 1994, Moorer defeated Evander Holyfield by decision to wrest the title, which Holyfield had regained from Riddick Bowe in his previous bout, from the two-time champion. Foreman, at 45, had been on the comeback trail for several years after choosing to end his ten-plus year retirement. He had received a shot at Holyfield’s undisputed world championship in 1991 but was defeated. Foreman also had not fought since being defeated by Tommy Morrison for the then-fringe World Boxing Organization championship.

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
