Voted Sinclair, but Ike will probably win.  Ah well, I like Ike too.

There's another argument in favor of giving it to Sinclair: the other candidates that received votes are clearly closer to him ideologically than to Ike. It's fair to assume that Sinclair would have won a head-to-head matchup.

While I'm sure that's true about the Hass voter, I wouldn't be too sure about the Kefauver voters picking a socialist over a moderate war hero.

I voted Sinclair, but Kefauver would've been my second choice.
