1. Probably not. Whoever had been Ike's VP for the past eight years would have been the overwhelming front-runner for the nomination, and it would have been tough for Nixon or anyone else to beat him.

2. It's hard to say. A lot would have depended on Nixon's record in the Senate.

Lodge would've been a good possibility... maybe Harold Stassen? Christian Herter? Earl Warren?

Stassen was actually well-regarded and -respected through most of the fifties as well, and certainly was still taken seriously in '52.

BTW, speaking of Nixon and vice-presidential possibilities, Arthur Schlesinger claims in his recently published Journals that Nixon offered Nelson Rockefeller the vice-presidential nomination in 1960, but that Rocky turned it down.
