	Wendell Wilkie
		Wendell Wilkie was born in Elwood, Indiana, on February 18, 1892.
		The Republican party tapped Wilkie, a lawyer and utilities executive, to run against FDR in 1940, even though Wilkie was a former Democrat.
		ER in her October 12, 1944 "My Day" column eulogized Wilkie as a "man of courage [whose] outspoken opinions on race relations were among his great contributions to the thinking of the world." She concluded, "Americans tend to forget the names of the men who lost their bid for the presidency.

		Wilkie has long since faded into history as an "also ran," but he did not pass from the political scene without having left a legacy worth remembering.
		Wilkie was a true "Dark Horse" when he entered the race for the presidential nomination at the 1940 Republican convention.
		Although Wilkie lost the election by 5 million votes, he was consoled by the fact that his popular vote was 22 million, the largest ever received by a Republican to that time.

		Wendell Willkie catapulted to prominence in 1940, a surprise "dark horse" candidate who had not even entered the primaries.
		Wendell Willkie was the first presidential candidate in American history to campaign vigorously for civil rights and to call for civil rights legislation--and he did so with forthright passion.
		He lost the election of 1940-most historians are convinced that no Republican could have won it that year--yet in the course of the campaign he gained a remarkable role in shaping the history and the character of the nation.

	History Channel - Speeches - Wendell L. Wilkie, U.S. political leader: Calls for an end to American isolationism
		Wilkie, a utility magnate and outspoken critic of the New Deal, shared with Roosevelt an unwavering opposition to America's neutrality in the global crisis.
		To the chagrin of many in his party, Wilkie refused to criticize the president's foreign policy during his campaign and called for greater national support for controversial Roosevelt initiatives such as the Lend-Lease Act.
		Soon after his electoral defeat, Wilkie embarked on a new campaign to awaken America from its isolationist slumber, and on July 23, 1941, he was heard urging unlimited aid to Britain in its struggle against Nazi Germany.

		By BRUCE G. For those who remember him at all, Wendell Wilkie was the guy with the funny name who ran against President Franklin Roosevelt in the presidential election of 1940.
		Since Wilkie lost that election he has faded into obscurity, but part of the reason he lost was a courageous decision he made Aug. 17, 1940, when he gave his speech accepting the Republican nomination for president.
		Wendell Wilkie is one of my unsung heroes of history.

		He also reveals how Wilkie was just as much a media creation as a solid, grass roots candidat--his candidacy having been born and nurtured in the editorial rooms of some of the country’s most influential journalists.
		After all, Wendell Wilkie was not a registered Republican: he had voted Democratic his entire life—at least until 1940.

		I direct your attention to the demagogic announcement by Wilkie on 23 August, reported by the newspapers before his U.S. departure.
		Wilkie deliberately demonstrates his anti-fascism because of his German background and fears that he will be accused of insufficient American patriotism.
		All of his pro-Soviet declarations carry a clear campaign message, since he hopes to ride a wave of sympathy towards the Soviet Union to the presidential elections in 1944.

		Paul Andriscin from Philadelphia got in touch to say that, contrary to our report, Wendell Wilkie was never United States Vice President (see our September 2003 photo archive page).
		From his caption ("Wendell Wilkie US Vice President, myself and Monty") that is what Roberts thought he was.
		In fact, since Wilkie was a Republican he would hardly be Vice-President to Democrat President Franklin D Roosevelt but he must have been a dedicated man with strong international awareness because he undertook at least two major international tours in 1941 and 1942 in support of the war effort and American involvement.

		Wilkie knew it was not the political thing to do.
		But before he died, as Zell Miller recounted, “Wilkie told a friend that if he could write his own epitaph and had to choose between ‘here lies a president’ or ‘here lies one who contributed to saving freedom,’ he would prefer the latter.” Then Miller asked, “Where are such statesmen today?

		Under sharp questioning by Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA), Wilkie detailed some of the findings of a Commerce Department Inspector General's investigation into the Kloske-ordered alterations: Many of them involved changes made to hide the fact that certain licenses were issued for equipment with known military applications or destined for end-users in the Iraqi military establishment.
		Moran also established that Wilkie had shared his uneasiness over the implications of Kloske's alteration of documents supplied to Congress with then-Secretary Mosbacher.

		The Democratic Party is at a crossroads, similar to where the Republican Party found itself in 1940: increasingly ineffective as a reactionary, old guard opposition party, flirting with mimicking successful governing party positions, and unconscious of the possibility of applying its abiding principles to the changing world of the near future.
		In 1940, after eight years of reactionary opposition to FDR's New Deal and internationalism, the GOP rejected the old guard presidential nomination candidacies of Robert Taft and Arthur Vandenberg, and nominated Wendell Wilkie -- the recently former Democrat who endorsed FDR's internationalism, while criticizing his Tennessee Valley Authority domestic radicalism.
		For the next 40 years the Republican Party nominated presidential candidates who endorsed most of the liberal FDR programs and agenda (with the exception of 1964, when they nominated Barry Goldwater), but said they could manage it better and a little cheaper.
