Dewey Defeats Truman and Assumed Win both have the same image. I'm pretty torn on this as the image of Truman holding the (in)famous paper would be a good illustration for either, but if you pointed a gun at me I'd say Assumed Win is the better illustration. I don't have any suggestions for Dewey Defeats Truman though...

Umm no clue, everything I come up with are Assumed Loss as that is usually the gag.

I would keep it on Assumed Win, seeing as being the Trope Namer is not an advantage to an image. Especially since it doesn't look like the trope on the Dewey Defeats Truman page.

Well, there are tons of parodies of the original headline. Off the top of my head, there's this. I think it would work pretty well on the Assumed Win page, since both headlines are clearly legible.

Ok, so for concrete action I propose just leaving Dewey Defeats Truman blank for now and moving the image on that page to Assumed Win, since it for some reason is the better quality image.

[up]or that, that's pretty funny.

From what I can tell, the Dewey beats Truman page doesn't just need a new picture, but rather a full-fledged run though the Trope Repair shop complete with a rename.

I also support the motions in 6.

OK with moving current to Assumed Win. Maybe this 'shoped image could be used?

The clock is up on this one. I've moved the version of the pic on Dewey Defeats Truman to Assumed Win and tagged both pages accordingly; locking up.
