Eisenhower defeated Taft for the nomination but came to an agreement that Taft would stay out of foreign affairs while Eisenhower followed a conservative domestic policy.

For the first time, a presidential candidate's personal medical history was released publicly, as were partial versions of his financial histories, because of the issues raised in Nixon's speech. Near the end of the campaign, Eisenhower, in a major speech, announced that if he won the election he would go to Korea to see if he could end the war. His great military prestige, combined with the public's weariness with the conflict, gave Eisenhower the final boost he needed to win. Throughout the entire campaign, Eisenhower led in"

Berlin voted for both Democratic and Republican presidential candidates, but he supported the presidential candidacy of General Dwight Eisenhower, and his song ""I Like Ike"" featured prominently in the Eisenhower campaign. In his later years he also became more conservative in his views on music. According to his daughter, ""He was consumed by patriotism."" He often said, ""I owe all my success to my adopted country"" and once rejected his lawyers' advice to invest in tax shelters, insisting, ""I ""want"" to pay taxes. I love this"

Although his style thrilled intellectuals and academics, some political experts wondered if he were speaking ""over the heads"" of most of his listeners, and they dubbed him an ""egghead,"" based on his baldness and intellectual demeanor. His biggest liability however, was the unpopularity of the incumbent president, Harry Truman. Even though Stevenson had not had been a part of the Truman administration, voters largely ignored his record and burdened him with Truman's.

Frémont won most of the North and nearly won the election. A slight shift of votes in Pennsylvania and Illinois would have resulted in a Republican victory.

However, Governor Smith was named the Democratic presidential candidate in 1928, and persuaded the state convention to draft Roosevelt.
