Who are you going to be voting for this year? Both parties have pulled out all of the stops this time, with two 'star' candidates in First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and General Dwight Eisenhower, which means we're probably going to have a really tight race, despite what looked like a sure-fire Republican win prior to the Democratic convention.

Whew, the Dems really did dodge the bullet when they picked Roosevelt over that egghead Stevenson, though, didn't they? I mean, I know she's a woman and all, and that might actually do some damage down South (Strom Thurmond is talking about another run of his own), but Eleanor is turning out to be quite the campaigner. I wonder if Ike can step up to the plate and take her down?
