Was he considered such? I mean, during the final months of WWII, the GOP's alternative to a sitting war time prez was someone with a relatively thin resume. He was just 42 years old, had less than 2 years of experience as gov and just been a district attorney before. That means no foreign policy experience. Not even the VP nominee, Gov. John Bricker, had experience in world affairs either. Did the GOP just not care because they knew FDR was unbeatable, or did they expect a FDR fatigue would get a fresh young face into the WH?
