Gore.

Seriously, liberals? You vote for this guy over Humphrey?

Gore.

Humphrey was a warmonger and quite frankly a terrible choice. I would've written in McCarthy or just stayed home.

Humphrey did support the bombing halt. Given his support for Clinton's involvement in Yugoslavia in taking one of the several equally evil sides, and supported the war in Iraq, I wouldn't exactly call Al Gore a pacifist either.

Remember that he was behind the first openly pro-civil rights Democratic platform and was the architect of much of the Great Society. However, he was a terrible speaker and unfortunately probably too nice to be president.

The party bosses were actually somewhat split between Humphrey (the New Dealers) and Kennedy (the urban/Irish machines) before the latter was murdered. McCarthy is great, but he never would have won. The Chicago convention would have been even more epic had Bobby lived.

Oh, Bobby is massively overrated and would have also certainly lost in 1968. He saw that McCarthy was strong against Johnson and ran on "I'm just like McCarthy only my brother was the president!"
