Forum:Joe Steele Elections '44, '48, '52

As everyone has probably noticed, I've never bothered creating articles for the POTUS elections for '44, '48, and '52 as depicted in the story "Joe Steele". The primary reason is that "Steele" ran unopposed in all three of those elections, so there isn't the usual frills of discussing campaign issues, etc.

However, since we have subsequently altered our formatting to inclue OTL comparisons, I am rethinking that position. There are some useful things to be said about each election in the context of that TL's history (especially '44, the first time a POTUS went unopposed since 1820).

It also occured to me that it might be nice to have at least one article for a 1950s election, however tenuous. TR 21:14, July 25, 2011 (UTC)
