Description

Allan Shivers announces that he, and a few other governors decided that Adlai Stevenson is a "decisive loser" for the 1956 presidential election. Shivers says he would practically support anyone other than Stevenson. However the Deep South is in dispute since political party lines will or might be crossed. This demonstrates that the South is politically divided, despite it's solid history for support for the Democratic Party. Also, this gives hint to who Shivers will most likely support in the next presidential election.
