Best Answer

Alf Landon, the Governor of Kansas. Landon was a moderate who generally supported the New Deal but criticised the way Roosevelt ran the programs. He was never a strong campaigner, indeed one newspaper ran a spoof "Missing Person" ad saying that the Governor had disappeared. Rosevelt defeated Landon with 60.8% of the vote and carried every state apart from Maine and Vermont. The election completely destroyed Maine's reputatation for being a swing state.
