Its 1952, and Eisenhower has been killed in battle, so obviously he cant run. Stevenson easily gets the nomination for the Democrats, and he picks Sparkman. The Republicans are on the search for a candidate!

With a desire to get even with Democrat Truman for the latter's firing of him, Douglas MacArthur jumps into the fray with cries of turning Russia into a national graveyard.

The End

[President Thomas E. Dewey]

Douglas MacArthur's intemperate meanderings about "turning Russia into a national graveyard" had effectively removed the 72 year old retired general from serious consideration for the Republican nomination.

The still young political veteran, the former crime busting District Attorney, the 50 year old New York Governor, and 1944 and 1948 Republican Presidential candidate, Thomas Dewey, stating "the third time's a charm," cruises comfortably to the Republican Presidential nomination.

"It's Time For Dewey" organizations are established throughout America.

Dewey chooses the experienced and distinguished Senator Homer Ferguson of Michigan for Vice President.  The 63 year old Ferguson brings impressive credentials to the ticket, a former law professor, a former circuit court judge, and Senator from Michigan since 1942. 

The ticket is given excellent reviews in the press.  The Governor from the northeast with executive experience, the Senator from the midwest with Washington legislative experience.  Both experienced, very smart, and both successful lawyers.   

The Democrats have occupied the White House since 1933.  America is looking for a new administration.  The young, dynamic, experienced, and brilliant Tom Dewey fits the bill.

The 1952 campaign begins.  Republicans Governor Thomas Dewey of New York and Senator Homer Ferguson of Michigan take on Democrats Governor Adlai Stevenson of Illinois and Senator John Sparkman of Alabama.

The electorate is looking for a new administration, but doesn't trust the Republican party, after the last time they were in office post-war lead to a massive depression. Realising this, moderate Republican...

[President Thomas E. Dewey]

The Republican ticket, Dewey and Ferguson, hit the campaign trail the day after the Republican National Convention, which was held in Philadelphia.  Dewey had learned a valuable lesson from the 1948 campaign.  In 1948, he coasted.  This time, his campaign would be relentless, right up until election day.

Post convention polling is showing the Republican ticket with a massive lead over the Democrats, Dewey at 56%, Stevenson at 34%, others at 2%, undecided at 8%.

Dewey and Ferguson begin the campaign by barnstorming together through Pennsylvania.  They then split up, with Dewey campaigning in New Jersey and New York, while Ferguson campaigns in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine.

Everywhere they go, the crowds are getting larger and larger.  "Change is in the air.  A new day is dawning for democracy, a new day is dawning for America," Dewey tells the ever growing and enthusiastic crowds.  Ferguson tells large and enthusiastic crowds in New England "Tom Dewey and I are going to clean up Washington, we are going to restore meaning and purpose to government.  A new day is dawning for America."

They are staying with the theme "A new day is dawning."

Nelson Rockefeller, an unknown but still known for his family, decides to put his hate in the ring.  Rockefeller worked for a time in several family-run businesses and philanthropies before entering public service. He became an Assistant Secretary of State during World War II, where he was Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, an anti-Nazi alliance for Central and South America. After the war, he headed the International Development Advisory Board, part of Truman's Point Four Program.

Rockefeller has threatened to use all his resources (which is a lot since his whole family is supporting him) on his campaign.  He is currently searching for a Vice-President.

Stalin hears of the dream from Bowron's secretary. He likes the idea. He decides to put it in action, so he blows up Los Angelos.

Then Stalin wakes up from HIS dream, the dream that he likes the idea of nuking Los Angeles, and decides that in reality it would not be a good idea at all.  Therefore, no nuclear attacks take place in reality, only in these dreams that Bowron and Stalin have been having.
