Umm...I would guess him not bringing his "friend" David Schine as special consuel in the Army-McCarthy hearings would be a start. If he isn't pressured into resiging by his opponents, he could very well use his status as a red-blooded Cold Warrior to win a Congressional Seat in the Bronx in '56. Two years as a congressmen would allow him to run for the retiring Irving Ives Senate Seat in '58. Although Im not sure how Cohn would do on a statewide campaign, he'd probably eat Keating alive during a debate(figurativley of course), and get the Seat. After serving 12 years in Congress he would be ripe for a run as an Anti-communist, Red-baiter in '68 at the ripe old age of '41
Really, I don't think his closeted homosexaulity will be that big of a deal in the '50's era press core. All we have to do is have him marry some hot secretary, and have her be strong enough to deal with his passions. I do think however the idea of him being Jew, might be too early for most Middle Class Americans to handle. He can always convert, but he would loose the precious jewish vote in the Northeast if he that so IDK.
As for President, I really have know idea...the only thing I know about Cohn is from watching
Angels in America, scanning wikipedia, and reading wolfpaw's and statchios' TL's. Are there any good books sorely on our favorite closet case?
