WI Stassen beats Taft in 1948 Ohio Primary

What if, during the 1948 Republican Presidential Primaries, Harold Stassen had beaten Robert Taft in the latter's home state of Ohio? To start, it's quite possible he gets a bit more lift in the remaining primaries, meaning he also likely beats Dewey in Oregon.

Would this have affected the National Convention later that year? For example, could Stassen have come out ahead of Taft (in second instead of third) on the first ballot? And might the resultant nomination have been changed as well (possibly nominating Earl Warren or Stassen instead of Dewey)?

And given how the RNC is affected (if at all), how is the general election affected? Or subsequent elections, or history in general?

IMO Dewey is still going to beat Stassen in the Oregon debate and primary and win the nomination. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewey–Stassen_debate

"The Oregon primary, however, had removed any aura of invincibility Stassen had generated. In a state uncluttered with favorite sons, with neither candidate enjoying a regional advantage, Dewey had won decisively. As a result, delegation chairmen saw little reason to support a candidate more liberal than themselves and who had conscientiously tried to wrest their nominating power from them by creating a public demand for his selection." https://books.google.com/books?id=YLtw1EE9ycUC&pg=PA105
