'''Warren G. (Gamaliel) Harding''' (November 2, 1865 - August 2, 1923) was an Ohio Senator and the 29th President of the [[United States of America]]. After the [[First World War]], his presidency was marked as a "return to normalcy".  Mr. Harding and his running mate Calvin Coolidge were elected by a large majority over James Cox and [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]], in large part because of the American people's rejection of the internationalist policies of former President Woodrow Wilson, particularly the League of Nations.  <ref>http://ap.grolier.com/article?assetid=atb037b09&templatename=/article/article.html</ref>

  Harding was also a vehement racist which goes along with many of the republican values we've come to know. His term was medeocre with a mild approval rating. He only served for three years until he was brutily attacked by a pack of rabid liberals from Canada who poisened his water. The grief for his death did not last long, for in the next few years it was found that he had been involved in the teapot oil scandal.

Harding's undeviating Republicanism and vibrant speaking voice, plus his willingness to let the machine bosses set policies, led him far in Ohio politics. He served in the state Senate and as Lieutenant Governor, and unsuccessfully ran for Governor. He delivered the nominating address for President Taft at the 1912 Republican Convention. In 1914 he was elected to the Senate. An Ohio admirer, Harry Daugherty, began to promote Harding for the 1920 Republican nomination because, he later explained, "He looked like a President."
