There was a documentary about him in June on PBS, and they spent a fair amount of time on the 1948 election. Yes, Dewey was taking victory laps instead of campaigning and yes, it had me think of Obama.

McCain could make great hay going after Obama as a wine-tasting, NPR listening, food co-op shoping, hemp-fiber wearing, lefty with a "Save Tibet" bumper sticker on his Volvo. Those sorts of lefties annoy me most, because you'd think with daddy's trust money they would know better.
