[FN1] Earl Warren tookthe Senate seat formally held by Bill Knowland when he ran as Macarthur's VP in 1952
[FN2] Prescott Bush won his first bid for a Senate Seat in 1950, due to a strong Republican year as the national ralliedbehind the flag to support the war in Korea.
[FN3] In OTL Quentin Burdick, the son of Usher Burdick, was instrumental in switching the Non-Partisan League (the liberal faction of North Dakota politics) from the Republican camp to the Democrat. This is the reason that the Democrats in the state are refered to as the D-NPL to this day. In the ATL, Burdick maintains the League's connections to the Republican Party and follows a path similar to the Progressive of Wisconsin. As a result he comes to the Senate as a Republican following Langer's death.
[FN4] Charles Taft succeeds his brother to a United States Senate seat following an effort bridge the gap between the liberal and conservative Republicans in Ohio. He serves as the Republican VP candidate in 1956.
NOTE: The footnotes to NOT list all of the changes between the ATL Senate and its OTL ounterpart. Furthermore, I consider this list to be a "work in progress" and if anyone has any imput, please let me know!
