Talk:Charles W. La Follette

I still wonder about HT's intentions for this man. In OTL, Charles La Follette was an Indiana politician. The more famous branch of the family (Bobs Sr., Jr. and Phillip) came from Wisconsin.

I have three hypotheses at this point:

1. HT butterflied Charles La Follette to Wisconsin. 2. HT butterflied Robert Jr. into Charles, like Douglas MacArthur became Daniel, and didn't know (or did) that there really was a Charles La Follette. 3. HT pulled Charles La Follette's name out of the hat, and just assumed he was from Wisconsin (which is probably what he did with Josephus Daniels).

I tend to favor #3 the least, since La Follette proved pretty important to the series, in contrast to Daniels who became mostly a throwaway. TR 22:37, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
