| Two-term, One Term pattern (hope for November) |

Granted this doesn't mean a thing, but just thought it was an interesting pattern. succession in office counts as the previous president's term for the sake of argument
FDR - 4 Terms (count it as 2 though, talking multiple terms)
HST - 1 Term
DDE - 2 Terms
JFK/LBJ - 1 Term
RMN/GF - 2 Terms
JC - 1 Term
RWR - 2 Terms
GHWB - 1 Term
WJC - 2 Terms
GWB - 1 Term?

There were elected in 1960. LBJ became president in 1963 finishing out JFK's term. He was then elected to a full term in 1964.

The only reason Harry Truman didn't run for a second term in 1952 (and win!) is because he felt he should honor the new constitutional amendment, even though it didn't apply to him.

May it continue if there is really something to it for the sake of the Dem in 2004.
