Description
The patrician senator from Minnesota, Eugene McCarthy ran again for the presidency in 1972. The bid was short lived. (He received only 2 delegate votes, or 0.02%.) Fellow senator George McGovern of South Dakota went on to be bloodied in a savage beating at the polls by President Richard Nixon.
{NOTE: What I most remember from this event was how rude the senator was. One bright reporter asked McCarthy a pointed question. McCarthy disdainfully responded by saying the journalist was far too young to deserve an answer.]
