Supposedly there is a biography of him, might prove an interesting read. He seemed fairly DINO (the equivalent of an urban Moderate/Conservative ethnic). I don’t know how well it would’ve gone over if the claim Ike considered him for a running mate in 1952 (getting him to switch parties). If he had, it might’ve been very interesting to see, since he could’ve pried some of the White urban ethnics that the GOP had lost with the Great Depression to come back over. That would’ve been an interesting showdown between him and JFK in ‘60 (and a 20+ year age difference, although Lausche, like some of his other fellow OH Senators, made it past 90).
Kathleen Gilligan Sebelius’s moonbat Socialist father beat Lausche in the ‘68 Dem primary, but that benefitted the GOP and helped the RINO William Saxbe win the general (I doubt Saxbe would’ve even won if Lausche hadn’t been defeated). Lausche apparently endorsed Nixon that year, too. I don’t know if he endorsed Saxbe.

Conservatives at the time would probably not have been thrilled.
By today’s standard he’d probably be a Republican though.

Oh yes Mr. Lose in 1974. He must have been some piece of crap. Wikisuckia said he lost because he didn’t appoint John Glenn to the Senate. (rolleyes)
