Before The White House, Mr. Wilson was a college professor, university president and governor of New Jersey.
Mr. Wilson got 42% of the popular vote in 1912 but carried most of the states in a 3-way race. His reelection in 1916 was very close: 277-254.
A few months ago, I watched the movie "Wilson" released in 1944. It is a very favorable movie of Mr. Wilson and his presidency. We also leaned a lot about Mrs. Wilson, who died during his first term, and the second Mrs. Wilson, who was a rather controversial figure.
Overall, a good movie that takes you back to a time when men wore hats and ladies dressed rather elegantly.
