Title: Re: 1944: Governor Paul McNutt vs. Representative Everett Dirksen Post by: hcallega on September 13, 2011, 08:12:39 AM This is a entirely unrealistic scenario. If FDR didn't run for reelection, it's likely that the Democrats nominate someone from his cabinet (Farley, Hull, or Garner) or if not, a nationally recognized leader. At the same time, the GOP is going to nominate someone who can win, as this is a great opportunity to take back the White House. Maybe Lindbergh?
