About George McGovern
In '72 I was in my teens. In those days, being a Democrat was something that was handed down in families along with a union card. George McGovern was my first exposure to Democratic politics, he was the one from whom I learned what it means to be a Democrat.
Perhaps much of D.U. is too young to remember. If wishes were horses and I had my way, D.U. would have gone black, with just a picture of George on the screen, for maybe an hour.
In this election season, I will end my comment there with a thank you to a very brave man who in war and peace stood firm in the face of evil.

The best presidential candidate in my lifetime!

I gave three bucks to the McGovern campaign office in my neighborhood. I still have the campaign button I got. I admired him so much for saying things that desparately needed to be said.
A truly great American has left us.
