Dubious assertions

I added two dubious and one cn template. "Four ballots," this should be maximum and probably three. "Lingered for several days," I think the balloting went on for only one day. In addition, the United States presidential election, 1932 doesn't mention anything about Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.

"After four ballots^{[dubious – discuss]}, Roosevelt had not secured the two-thirds majority necessary for the nomination. At this point, Smith believed the delegates were anxious about a deadlocked convention, and attempted to stampede all the delegates' votes toward his surrogate, Cleveland Mayor Newton D. Baker. The stalemate lingered for several days^{[dubious – discuss]}, however, until a late night call was made by leading Democrat Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.(then a Roosevelt supporter) to Hearst.^{[citation needed]} Kennedy reminded Hearst that if the convention continued in the same way, Smith or Baker would be nominated, two people who embodied all the political beliefs diametrically opposed to Hearst's own. Kennedy managed to convince Hearst to notify Garner to bow out of the race, and to support Roosevelt. When McAdoo learned of this decision, he threw California's delegates to Roosevelt, and the other states fell in line behind Roosevelt."

I've made the correction and deleted the template.THD3 (talk) 12:13, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect the whole section is erroneous, and it should probably be deleted if it's not verified. Vints (talk) 11:07, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dates . . .

We need dates, and, sorry, but I'm not going to put them in. Other projects. Anyway, when was FDR finally nominated? BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 02:37, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
