A frequently used POD on the forum is WJB not running in 1908 and then becoming the 1912 Democratic nominee (and president). However, I’d like to propose an idea with another multiple time nominee, Adlai Stevenson. Stevenson was the nominee in 1952 and 1956, but lost in 1960 to Kennedy (with his past two losses hurting his chances despite being personally popular). So, what if Stevenson doesn’t run? Who will replace him as the nominee; Harriman perhaps? Can he win in 1960 against the Kennedy and LBJ machines with his conventional New Dealer support? Does he beat Nixon? What if?
