Tim: "
As for the south shifting to the Republicans, that might have a lot to do with other issues. When people like McGovern started to gain prominence in the Democratic party, it turned off a lot of people in the South (and also certain groups outside the south, many of whom later came to be called "Reagan Democrats"

koan: first it was blatant racism, not McGovern!

And I never understood the disdain for Macgovern who was a great hero!

George McGovern: world war two fighter pilot (most of his squadren were killed), PHD I think and a man Bobby Kennedy called the most decent man in the senate.

So one can see why conservaties would hate him-grin.

And the south and conservatives preferred Richard Nixon. Great choice!

Now in retrospect who do you think was right, on that one: the liberals who LOVED and still LOVE McGovern or the conservatives who loved Richard Nixon.

This theme is played over and over and over util you get to little bush today!
