Is it plausible, with no PoDs prior to the start of the convention on June 1, for the Democrats in 1852 to nominate Sam Houston for President? If so, what are the effects; if it's safe to say he's elected, how does his presidency differ from that of OTL's disastrous Pierce (and Buchanan ?) administration(s)? And how does this altered 1850's change American history?
