- "Willkie" Campaign Pin, 1940 - The Republican Party nominated Wendell Willkie to run against President Franklin Roosevelt in 1940. It was an unconventional choice: Willkie supported much of Roosevelt's New Deal legislation, he had voted for Roosevelt in 1932, and he was an internationalist -- controversial positions in the anti-New Deal, isolationist Republican Party. Willkie fared better than Alf Landon, the Republican's 1936 presidential candidate, but still lost.
