THE CAMPAIGN: The Caucauasu & the Congress
(2 of 2)
Behind their closed doors, the Democrats had a disunity problem of their own. Stevenson & Co. wanted to pitch the campaign on an anti-Eisenhower theme. But many of the politicians who will be stumping the congressional districts are firmly against that policy. They are convinced that Ike is still overwhelmingly popular with the U.S. voter. Said one Democratic pro: "We ought to pretend that 1952 never happened, that there is no such thing as Eisenhower."
*The first congressional election after Franklin D. Roosevelt became President, and the only off-year election in this century that gave the party in power a net gain in House seats.
