In reply to the discussion: This is one hell of an ad from the Democrat running US Senate in South Dakota. [View all]Tommymac
(7,263 posts)27. UM, Dem Sen G. McGovern represented South Dakota in the 1960's. LBJ was from Texas, and President.
Just fact checking. I believe you may have meant to refer the last Democratic statewide Presidential race?
Sen McGovern was a rare anti-war progressive, and was the Democratic Candidate for President in 1972 - he got trounced by Nixon; it was in 1972 that the Watergate break-in occurred.
Sen McGovern was smeared by the RNC in 1972 as a weak person; in reality he served his country well in combat in WW2, completing over 25 missions commanding a heavy bomber over Nazi Germany. A very brave man.
