Title: Dewey wins 1948 Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on July 03, 2005, 12:43:03 PM If Dewey won in 1948 how would Stevenson fair against him in 1952?
Title: Re: Dewey wins 1948 Post by: PBrunsel on July 03, 2005, 12:54:21 PM Depends on 3 issues:
1. Korea 2. McCarthy 3. Inflation These three things kiled Truman in 1952. Title: Re: Dewey wins 1948 Post by: No more McShame on July 03, 2005, 01:23:24 PM Also, Eisenhower might have decided he was a Democrat and ran in 1952.
Title: Re: Dewey wins 1948 Post by: Lincoln Republican on July 03, 2005, 02:47:23 PM Dewey would have been a competent and tough President in his first term, and in the eyes of the American public would have been deserving of re-election.
Stevenson would have met the same fate in 1952 against Dewey as he met against Eisenhower, a big defeat. Title: Re: Dewey wins 1948 Post by: Rob on July 03, 2005, 02:52:16 PM There wouldn't have been much difference between this and the actual Truman presidency; Dewey was pretty damn liberal (his foreign policy may have actually been weaker). I must say, though, that he doesn't look very "presidential":

I must say, though, that he doesn't look very "presidential": () You're right. That picture doesn't look very "presidential." He looks kind of like Howdy Doody here. I hope he didn't use this picture in the 1948 campaign. If he did, no wonder he lost. Title: Re: Dewey wins 1948 Post by: KillerPollo on July 04, 2005, 11:12:04 PM Stevenson! duh!
Title: Re: Dewey wins 1948 Post by: PBrunsel on July 05, 2005, 02:27:42 PM I must say, though, that he doesn't look very "presidential": Alice Roosevelt said he looked like the little man on top of the wedding cake. Title: Re: Dewey wins 1948 Post by: True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자) on July 10, 2005, 08:01:19 AM Assuming the Korean War still happens, Dewey is defeated by Eisenhower in 1952. If not, Dewey beats Stevenson.
