George McGovern, the Democratic Party candidate for president in the 1972 election, died early this morning at age 90.
McGovern lost the presidential election to Richard Nixon in a landslide win by Tricky Dick. He ran on an anti-war platform and he was the first candidate for president that I voted for.
R.I.P. Mr. McGovern
(dontomasso had picked him for the contest).
My first Presidential vote also. The Watergate burglary and the Viet Nam war gave me reason to not even consider Nixon. He would come on TV and I would shout at the TV,
LIAR!
