Ike

Somebody please read the article and explain to us who or what "Ike" is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.210.50.16 (talk) 20:04, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

please explain the big picture

this page does not actually explain the meaning or significance of the phrase 'i like ike', it is merely used as a title. since searching for i like ike redirects to this page, i would love it if someone who knows what it actually means would update this page. 121.45.4.201 (talk) 11:42, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To the best of my knowledge, "Ike" is the short-form/nickname for President Dwight D. Eisenhower. "I like Ike" was highly popular campaign slogan (almost most popular, but Tippecanoe and Tyler Too is still better), which Ike used successfully in his 1952 presidential campaign.

Sorry

Sorry about that earlier revert, I didn't really understand what you were doing. I now see it. Good work. --William S. Saturn (talk) 00:36, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Drive by comment Suggestion

If this is being considered for a run at FAC, could I suggest that a little more detail be given about "Later, in an upset victory, Truman defeated Dewey in the 1948 presidential election." Gog the Mild (talk) 12:34, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I do intend to take this to FAC, but I assume that reviewers would doubt its comprehensiveness. Would try to expand the "Later, in an upset..." part soon. Would also see if there is anything else important which can be added here. Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 14:18, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gog, done that, expanded the article and added few source. Now I am considering a FAC run. Would appreciate any comments here or at its peer review page. Definitely no issues if too busy. Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 17:43, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
