In 1948, no one gave Harry Truman much of a chance at winning re-election. But when the President stepped up to the convention podium at two o'clock in the morning, his vehement lambasting of the "do nothing" Republican congress was so dynamic, so unexpected, it reinvigorated his candidacy and established both the tone and the message for his entire campaign.
