George McGovern
From RationalWiki
George McGovern was a multi-term Senator from South Dakota. He ran for the Presidency against Richard Nixon in 1972 in a campaign marked by an inability to garner even a negligible amount of electoral votes and the fact that two dopey college kids, Bill Clinton and his favorite gal, Hillary Rodham, became political aspirants as a result of being inspired by probably the most dis-heartening election of the era[1]. During the campaign, Nixon was absolutely insane from his own paranoia, and he red-baited McGovern for his involvement in the 1947 electoral campaign of Henry A. Wallace, the pro-Soviet former Vice President under FDR.
