McCormick Says GOP Voters Rejected Dewey in 1948
Chicago publisher Col. Robert R. McCormick stated that Thomas E. Dewey lost because the people did not want him. He argued General MacArthur would have won the nomination, Taft would have run better, and Dewey's support was mainly anti Truman. He also said Indiana’s Halleck was double crossed at the convention and Illinois Governor Green would have faced defeat if he backed Dewey.
