McGovern never became president, and it's a darn good thing for America.  His extreme anti-war views, support of abortion, and advocacy of bad science would have been disastrous for our country if he'd made it to the White House.  On the other hand, you have a moderate Republican who supported most of the New Deal, helped save the world from Nazi tyranny, fought for civil rights, and stood strong against the Soviet Union.

Needless to say, Ike wins by lightyears.

McGovern's moderate views on abortion in 72 would disqualify him from being on a Democratic ticket today. And "advocacy of bad science"??

Although everyone thinks saturated fat causes heart disease and obesity, the scientific evidence supporting that is outdated, and flimsy at best.  McGovern chaired the committee that published the federal government's low-fat diet recommendations, causing people to eat more processed sugars and artificial trans fats.  Simply put, people like him are responsible for the ever-increasing levels of obesity in this country, as well as countless deaths and/or impairments from heart disease, diabetes, and other diseases.
