The video program below from 2013 gives an interesting perspective on Adlai Stevenson. It is a live broadcast that focuses on his two presidential campaigns. I give it a B+ because I think a chronological presentation would have condensed some duplication and would have opened time for a deeper discussion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onmeqZF8C-k

He was probably the smartest major party candidate for the office. But not the greatest politician and unlucky enough to run against a WWII war hero not too long after the war ended. Not a "hold your nose and vote" choice pair of elections.

Not that anyone asked, but here is my ranking of the Democrats: 1 - Adlai Stevenson 2 - Stephen Douglas 3 - Hillary Clinton 4 - Alfred E. Smith 5 - John F. Kerry 6 - William J. Bryan 7 - Hubert Humphrey 8 - Winfield S. Hancock 9 - Michael Dukakis 10 - Walter Mondale 11 - Alton Parker 12 - Al Gore 13 - George McGovern 14 - John W. Davis 15 - Samuel Tilden 16 - George McClellan 17 - James M. Cox 18 - Horace Greeley 19 - Horatio Seymour
