Re: Obama Watch
This may be Obama's best shot at winning the nomination. If he fails, he will likely become the next HAROLD STASSEN. Stassen, who was governor of Minnesota, was the "boy wonder" of the 1948 Republican presidential race. He lost the nomination to NY Governor Thomas Dewey, who was then upset by incumbent Harry Truman in the general election.
Stassen then became a perennial Republican candidate over the next 20 years, with his base getting smaller each time.
