Last night as I drifted off to sleep my mind got stuck on trying to remember who Truman's vice president was. Alben W. Barkley shouldn't have been that hard a name to dredge up-- he was majority leader in the Senate, and I think he was the last person to return to the Senate after his term as VP was over. (Let's see: Nixon, no. Johnson, no. Ah-- Humphrey, yes. Agnew went to jail. Ford was from the House, ran for re-election and lost. Rocky was not asked to run with Ford. Mondale, no. Bush ran for, and was elected President. Quayle, hahaha, no. Gore, no. Cheney, no.)
Alben W. Barkley. Why couldn't I remember him?
