If my memory serves me correctly Dwight D. Eisenhower's name was placed in nomination as DEMOCRATIC candidate for president.

RE: EISENHOWER AS A DEMOCRAT IN 1948

DEAR READERS-

 YES, GEN. EISENHOWER WAS BEING PURSUED BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERSHIP  IN 1948 AS A CANDIDATE. EISENHOWER THOUGHT SERIOUS TO RUNNING AS A DEMOCRAT IN LIGHT OF THE PROGRESS OF THE F.D.R. YEARS. (MOVING FORWARD, FINISHING THE WAR IN VICTORY, AND ECONOMY.) THIS WAS A "FEEL GOOD TIME" FOR OUR COUNTRY AND FOR DEMOCRATS. THEY WANTED A WINNER HOWEVER TO GO UP AGAINST REPUBLICAN GOV. TOM DEWEY THE FRONT RUNNER AT THE TIME. 

THEY WERE LUKE WARM  ON TRUMAN ( TAKING ON LIBERAL CAUSES UPSETTING TO THE CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATIC SOUTH. )  AND WANTED TO HOLD THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT PAST 1945. DEWEY WAS A TOUGH TO BEAT.  THEY ALSO THOUGH EISENHOWER WOULD BE A GOOD BALANCE FOR THE FULL DEMOCRATIC PARTY TICKET.  LATER THE WHOLE COUNTRY IN THE 48 GENERAL ELECTION. 

 THE TICKET AND VICTORY WENT TO PRES. TRUMAN IN A CLOSE CALL WIN. HE LATER DECIDED TO RUN AS PRESIDENT IN 195O'S AS A REPUBLICAN AND THE REST IS HISTORY. IT WAS "WE LIKE IKE!" FOR TWO TERMS.
