Well laid out, Bobert.

During World War II, when FDR was president, there was a national election (1944). Since the war was going full blast at the time and we were winning, the big slogan that Roosevelt's supporters used was "Don't change horses in the middle of the stream." It sounded like good advice to just about everyone, and Roosevelt was re-elected to an unprecedented fourth term. A question occurred to me: have we ever not re-elected a president while a war was in progress?

Just a thought.
