I was hemming and hawing between Jefferson and Truman for my second pick--Truman seemed the more vulnerable of the two, so I picked him.
His domestic policy wasn't so hot, but he had a Republican Congress to oppose some of the time...and when he didn't, he had Southern Democrats--so very little of it got through. The differences between a Dewey and Truman administration in domestic policy probably wouldn't have been that large.
However, he is simply the best foreign policy President we've ever had. Well, we lost China, but that's Marshall's fault, not Truman's.
Re-elect Truman in '08! (He's still eligible!)
