Sorry for the delay. My kicking and other projects got in the way.
Here are the two relevant threads.
The election
Dewey's First Term
Dewey/Nixon has won against Kefauver/Fulbright. Many may mark it as the end of the New Deal Coalition. Dewey ran on a program of civil rights against a split and silent ticket from the Democrats.
Nixon and Fulbright's debates centered mainly on foreign policy and domestic communism. While Fulbright was clearly the more knowledgeable regarding foreign policy, Nixon is largely regarded to have won the debates on the matter of domestic communism. It should be noted that McCarthy's burnout is soon to occur.......
Strategos Risk has volunteered to do a write up on US foreign policy RE: Asia in Dewey's second term.
I am doing a write up on some interesting changes, especially the careers of some rising stars.
If anyone else wants to volunteer anything, it would be appreciated.
But for now, we need to discuss Dewey's second term. What shape does his civil rights plank go forward in? Shall we see an interstate program here? What does his Cabinet look like?
And just an interesting idea: I would like for Dewey to be the first sitting President to visit Asia. Not a Nixon goes to China, but a tour of Japan, Korea and Taiwan.
And finally, who will the election of 1956 be fought between?
