Adlai Ewing Stevenson II (February 5, 1900 – July 14, 1965) was an American politician and statesman, noted for his skill in debate and oratory. He was twice an unsuccessful candidate for President of the United States (1952 and 1956).
in my estimation, possibly America's greatest statesman never to ascend to the Presidency (rivaled only, I think, by Ben Franklin), and he likely failed that only because Eisenhower was one of the most popular presidents we ever had by quite a significant margin.
