Just what it says: how plausible is it that Patton or Macarthur runs for and wins the Presidency?

Patton's obvious POD is not dying in a car accident in Germany postwar, but I'm iffy on him because I don't think he has the finesse to manage politics too well. Macarthur on the other hand has a stellar war-hero record, administrative experience as the Occupying Executive of Japan, and if he doesn't piss off Truman and get dismissed I think he has a shot in 1952.
