>>After LBJ said he wouldn't run then bobby felt he coudl jump in.<< Actually, that's not true. After McCarthy had announced his candidacy, RFK had said publicly that he could 'foresee no circumstances' in which he would run. Then came the Tet offensive in Vietnam, and RFK declared. It was a little after that the LBJ took pretty well everyone by surprise with his "I shall not seek, nor shall I accept..." statement. (edit) I'll second your recommendation of The Best And The Brightest.
