The Democrats had a number of splits, actually almost all these states are no primary states, primaries were not very common then
民主黨內部也有很多分歧，事實上當時這些州都沒有進行初選，初選在當時還沒普及到各州
and the primaries were the xxx by a Tennessee Democrat named Estes Kefauver who was interested in civil rights
初選是由田納西州的民主黨人艾斯迪斯，凱弗維爾推廣的，他對公民權很感興趣
not as much as what we consider a liberal position today, but for the time definitely in favor of civil rights
雖然不及今天的自由主義立場的程度，但在當時他是堅決的支持公民權
Adlai Stevenson not running any of these primaries, but he got the north from the Democrats
阿德萊·史蒂文森沒參加任何一場初選，但他從共和黨人手中贏得了北部的支持
and Stevenson didn't talk about segregation again just keep it off the table to keep the south
史蒂文森從不談及隔離主義，不去理會它，以保住南部的支持
The Republicans had their own split
共和黨也有他們自己的分歧
they ended up going for the moderate of almost unknown political dimensions Dwight D. Eisenhower
最后他們選擇支持幾乎沒有明確政治立場的溫和派候選人，艾森豪威爾
again going for the hero general, the Democrats one time interested in Eisenhower too, nobody knew what his party was
再次選了將軍這樣的英雄人物參選，民主黨曾經也對艾森豪威爾感興趣，沒人知道他屬于哪個黨派
Finally he said I'm a Republican, the Republicans draft him
最后他自己說，我是共和黨人，共和黨人便把他爭取到手
Korea is a big issue, Korean War is going on
當時朝鮮是一個重大的問題，朝鮮戰爭正在進行
Eisenhower says I will go to Korea and I will make sure that the war is ended honorably that worked very well
艾森豪威爾說，我將親赴朝鮮，我能保證戰爭將光榮地結束，這句話深入民心
Stevenson couldn't get traction and down he went
相比之下，史蒂文森沒有什么優勢，因而他的競選走上了下坡路
Here is the two candidates
這是兩位候選人
It's interesting Adlai Stevenson had the unfortunate majority of term associated with him as egg head
有趣的是，大部分關于史蒂文森比較倒霉，大部分對他的形容都禿頭有關
Google Stevenson an egg head was considered over intellectual
谷歌“史蒂文森和禿頭”，結果會顯示禿頭過于書生氣
also comments on his looks, although Dwight Eisenhower looks like, his head is egg shape to be right now
對他長相的評論也差不多是這樣，不過艾森豪威爾的長相，現在看來他的頭也是蛋形的
