Does God hate Mormons and saw fit to embarrass them in this Presidential election?
No. Mormons aren't embarrassed. Most Mormons don't even live in the US and therefore didn't really pay much attention to the presidential election. There are also hundreds of thousands (if not a million or more) Mormons who supported Barack Obama in the election. Having someone who happens to be a member of the same religious denomination as you lose a presidential election is not embarrassing. I, as a Mormon, certainly don't feel embarrassed, nor do I know of any other Mormons who feel embarrassed. The general feeling among Mormons who supported Romney is disappointment, but happy that he had a great campaign. Church leaders have asked all Mormons to congratulate President Obama on his victory and to pray for him and all other government leaders.
Who were the Republican and Democratic nominees for President and Vice President in 1960?
You have asked a question about a momentous election that was narrowly decided. President Eisenhower had served two terms and his Vice President was Richard M. Nixon, in the 1960 US Presidential Election, Richard Nixon sought to be elevated to the Presidency. Nixon's running mate was Henry Cabot Lodge. On the Democratic side was the young Senator from Massachusetts John F. Kennedy and wily Senate majority leader Lyndon Johnson. They won the election with 303 electoral votes to Richard Nixon's 219, but the popular vote was a narrow 112,827 in favor of Kennedy/Johnson.
How did the large number of candidates affect the 1924 election?
In order to win a presidential or vice-presidential election in the US, a candidate must receive votes from more than half of the appointed electors. That is why on the night after a presidential/vice-presidential election the news coverage places so much emphasis on the number 270; since 1964, 270 electors is the lowest number of electors that is more than half. If nobody gets that many votes, which is very possible if the votes are divided among too many candidates, the US House of Representatives elects the President, and the US Senate elects the Vice President (which means that if the two houses of Congress are controlled by different political parties, it is still quite possible to wind up with a President and Vice President of opposing parties, like in 1796). 1824 was the only time so far that that happened in a US presidential election (and 1836 was the only time so far that that happened in a US vice-presidential election). I just realized that the question asked about 1924 rather than 1824. I guess my brain saw 1824 because that is a commonly-asked question regarding the 1824 question. Although there were eight different candidates from eight different political parties in 1924 (not counting write-ins), only three of them received electoral votes or received more than 1% of the nationwide popular vote. However, in 1824 the electoral votes were divided among four candidates, 38% to Andrew Jackson, 32% to John Quincy Adams, 16% to William Crawford and 14% to Henry Clay.
