Symington Seen As Dark-Horse Hope For 1960 Bid
Missouri’s Sen. Stuart Symington emerges as a potential dark-horse in the 1960 presidential sweepstakes. Supporters tout his voting record, broad administrative experience, and growing appeal as a compromise candidate if a Democratic deadlock occurs at the national convention. He campaigns quietly across 26 states, expanding his views on domestic and international issues. The senator’s strong 1952 Senate victory and a six-year re election last year underline his proven electability, though his name remains relatively unfamiliar to many voters.
