It was a very poor campaign, but not the worst presidential campaign by a major party candidate, even.
The Courier-Journal said this about Truman's opponent, Thomas Dewey.
"No presidential candidate in the future will be so inept that four of his major speeches can be boiled down to these historic four sentences: Agriculture is important. Our rivers are full of fish. You cannot have freedom without liberty. Our future lies ahead."
Dewey lost despite a 3 way split in the Democratic party and poor approval ratings. It makes Romney look competent in comparison.
