'''Eugene Talmadge''' (September 23, 1884 – December 21, 1946) was a [[Democrat]] [[white supremacist]] from [[Georgia]] who served as the state's governor from 1933–37 and 1941–43. Similar to [[Louisiana]] governor and demagogue [[Huey Long]], he divided the state's party into being either for or against him. Term-limited in 1936 from running for re-election as governor, Talmadge unsuccessfully ran for Senate in 1936 against [[segregation]]ist [[Richard Russell, Jr.]], a [[New Deal]]er.
Talmadge was described by his son [[Herman Talmadge|Herman]] as someone who a third of Georgians would follow him to [[hell]] and who a third wanted in hell.
