I never much liked him years ago... but compared to the politicians today, what a man he was...
Is any one else very upset about his death?

Was he a man for folding to pressure and dumping his own VP?

Yeah he was a lot better than 95% of politicians today. He will be missed.

No, he was a man for serving our country honorably in World War II and fighting for his vision of America.

I like McGovern, I just didn't see the need to attack today's figures. McGovern wasnt above politics or anything like that.

Yeah, and his waffling over Eagleton--ie. backing him 100% one day then dumping him the next--sorta ruined the whole "new politics" vibe, although Eagleton definitely should've been dumped.

The Eagleton affair was blown out of proportion by the media, and McGovern mishandled it --but it was a hard thing to handle.

Regardless, he was a real progressive for his time. I liked what I knew about him although I think he should have ran for president...less.

Eagleton was a disgusting little worm. He put McGovern in a very undesirable position by not telling the truth about himself and then refusing to step aside for the good of cause when the truth came out.

Yeah, plus, of course, he coined the "amnesty, acid & abortion" phrase.
