I don't believe Truman ran in '52. Ike ran against some wreck of Democrat (Stevenson?) and won handily.

You're correct. It was Adalai Stevenson & Ike in '52. I believe Truman declined the Dems nomination in '52 because of the Dems trying to get Ike to run as a Dem. Ike creamed them as a Repub.

I do, however, stand by the crux of my point and recall that LBJ feared what happened to Truman would happen to him. From 1952 to 1964 was not a long time in the political mind of LyndonJohnson. A self fulfilling prophesy, to be sure.

This Clinton letter truly is contemptable -- but it again shows how many of us simply have to live in the PAST. What will happen (besides a lot of celebrating) if Clinton dies? I'm amazed that this is posted after he's already discredited by this. Amazing. Aren't there a lot of bigger bogeymen running around in the US Congress and the world who need to be exposed here -- rather than reruns??? On the other hand, i now a lot of folks will disagree. So really to make some of the truly obsessed happy, I strongly suggest this letter is posted every day. Just hope that moderates or liberals don't look at it; it's proof of an absolute obsession bordering on silliness given the huge issues and people who are underming the safety of our country (in Congress and in various countries.). Amazing!
