President Harry Truman (D-MO) / Governor Adlai Stevenson (D-IL)
Governor Thomas Dewey (R-NY) / Senator Richard Nixon (R-CA) ✓
Governor Strom Thurmond (DX-SC) / Senator John Sparkman (DX-AL)
Texas was bound to swing to the Republicans in the 1950s due to the Presidential Republicanism of the Shivercrats, but Truman still narrowly carries some Outer South and Northern states. This is being generous to Truman IMO, partly because Dewey wouldn't have the unique appeal to veterans, independents, and Democrats that Eisenhower did, but mostly because I don't want to bother with another wall-of-text rant from seething Kentuckian Democrat users.
