IC: What if the gun he used misfired or something?
OOC: not at all, That's the kind of thing I like to see in DBWI threads.Does anyone think he could have taken on Dewey in '52 if he lived? Barkley certainly wasn't up to task which of course led to a strengthened Liberal Republican faction after they won in '52 which lasted all the way up until the conservative Reagan in '76*.
*Though, Reagan oversaw an economic slump which did manage to keep the moderates of the party afloat, but that's neither here or there.
OOC: If that's too much trying to mold the universe, decanonize everything past the winning against Dewey point.
