Reenactment: to repeat the actions of an earlier event or incident ---Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

If looks could kill, Thomas Dewey might have been dead before he could have been nominated for president in 1948. At least according to a supposed reenactment on last night's episode of Race for the White House about the 1948 Truman vs Dewey presidential race.The reenactment portrayed Senator Robert Taft walking by Dewey and giving him a death stare before he continued on. You can see Taft's deadly glare at the 11:00 mark of the video below. The problem is for there to be an accurate reenactment there had to be an earlier event or incident for it to be based on. After much researching, your humble correspondent could find no such encounter between Taft and Dewey.

I still recommend this series even though they sometimes need to be corrected on historical details. Like including Missouri as a northern free state on a map reflecting 1858.
