How come 1948 isn't an option in this poll? If there is one for that year (not sure if there is since I don't know if they broadcast the results on TV yet or not), I'd love to see it. Imagine all the reporters thinking Dewey will win only to see Truman pull off a stunning upset.
I haven't seen the actual election but I saw the post election analysis. It had one newsperson (a Republican by the sounds of it) on borderline tears because somehow Dewey lost and it just wasn't fair that he lost the election, after being so close two times.....JUST NOT FAIR AT ALL!!!!!!!
