Washington Calling Washington Calling by Marquis Childs
Washington notes shifting voter behavior toward protest and negative votes in 1948, spotlighting Dixiecrats, Norman Thomas Socialist candidacy, and Wallace third party dynamics. It highlights Thomas’s broad national campaign, small fundraising, and aggressive touring, with commentary on independent voter sentiment and historical context. It ends with brief notes on Channel Islands occupation and frozen milk.
