i dont know, by 1953 the vice presidency was a lot more important that Garner's "warm piss" days, if truman could convince stevenson to run for the presidency, im pretty sure he could convince him to serve under kefauver

true, lausche would be a great running mate, he would balance things out and ohio would be essential for a democratic presidential victory

wouldnt be much difference in terms of policies than ike though, the 50's were pretty much a "steady as she goes" time politically, only major issue would have been the red scare, with a democrat in the white house and without Ike taming him, McCarthy could have been even more powerful
