Hey, here is a fresh topic, that I really don't think we havent really discussed yet. For all the Cold Warrior's and Post War American Domestic policy enthusiasts, what would an Earl Warren Presidency look like in the '50's? I think the most plausible scenario is that the Dewey/Warren Ticket beats Truman as expected and then President Truman is gun down by the Puerto Rican Nationalist Assassins on November 1st, 1950...thrusting Warren into the Presidency(I know, I know double POD...I just doubt US Puerto Rican Relations would change that drastically under 2 years of Republican Adminstration).
How would Warren govern as POTUS? Would Warren be the unifier he was in Sacremento during his governorship, or would he be the controversial leader he emerged as during his career as Cheif Justice? What might he do about MacArthur and the Korean War? Would he push for a strong Civil Rights Bill? And could he beat Stevenson in '52? And any other thoughts on what the legacy of his Presidency might be?
