Roosevelt's last campaign ended in victory, albeit the slimmest margin of victory of his four presidential elections. The scene at Hyde Park was familiar. The guests included the Morganthaus and the Rosenmans among family, old friends, and supporters, except that John and FDR Jr. were in the Pacific, Elliott was in Europe, and Jimmy was in Hawaii. Roosevelt knew he had won by 11:00 PM., but "the graceless Dewey" would not concede until 3:16 A.M. "I still think he is a son of a bitch," Roosevelt told his secretary William D. Hassett, on his way to bed.
