In a van down by the river
Last night on CLT they showed the movie "Truman" with Gary Sinise in the leading role.
I have started to read his biography(not finished yet).
The part on his re-election was pretty interesting.

"The closest election in history"..... "The polls always had his opponent in the lead"......"NBC declares Dewey the winner"

I had to check the year..

Truman not only ran against Dewey but he also had to defeat the right wing of
his party lead by none other than Strom Thurmon - yes that Strom Thurmon who
lead the Dixicrats as well as the left wing of his party - I can't recall his name but
he was FDRs VP in his third term.
Henry Wallace was the FDR VP that you are referring to.
