He lost because after an engineer mistakenly pulled Dewey's campaign train away from the whistle stop, Dewey quipped "he should be shot at sunrise". This turned working people against him. Incredibly, Republicans probably took the Black vote for granted in 1948 or assumed it was too small to matter.
