It was still rough and tumble politics. Kennedy was accused of bribing Virginia police officers.

This looks pretty good. Glad for Youtube would of hate to miss your video.

Ha! Good one! That gave me a much needed chuckle!!!

@TheKSE1 One could have in 52'. Apparently, Stevenson had ticked off both J. Edgar Hoover and Joe McCarthy because he was sick of their red-baiting, and they proceeded to smear him before the election. By 56', the economy was too good for him to have much hope, though.

His nose looks weird.

Welcome to America bitches

It's too bad that you don't see politicians the caliber of Stevenson, Eisenhower, Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Humphrey, etc anymore... the 1950s were a good time for America, when the people actually trusted their government to do the right thing. Now, people are crying socialist at their own president!

@xitongzou Unfortunately the presidency requires more than being a good guy; I'm afraid today it requires a person to be a tough as nails liar, a thief, and a murderous warmonger. That's what we've enjoyed for the most part ever since the planned by committee murder of John F. Kennedy.

I find all the comments here comparing Stevenson to Barack Obama a trifle odd, it was a very different time and a very different Democractic Party, in fact the area of the country that voted most heavily for Stevenson was the then segregated South, there are certainly points of similarity but really its apples and oranges.

@lineplungingfool Carter made promises to both the evangelical and homosexual communities and ignored both once he was elected. Not saying he didn't do well in everything else, but right there is typical politician-like activity
