 Ah, Sonja, in 1948, it was the "Dixiecrats" that were causing the problems.

 Now, 1968 is another story. "The whole world's watching, the whole world's

ROFL Dennis!!!... I meant 1968 all along.

OMG a loose-fingered pedant

and my Muse is Errata.



And in 1948 it was Henry Wallace also

and the third party (Progressive Party)

.. and Truman elected. I believe the Dixecrats

with Henry Wallace came later maybe '58??
