RI is much more likely than SD to go Democratic.Just look at Nixon's victory margins in each state.

McGovern's running mate is Mike Gravel.

Also, Roch, McGovern lost SD by 8.6%. Now, if he's going against an unpopular President (at least on the left), and hasn't been tarnished by the Eagleton scandal, he could probably win his home state.


Possibly, but I was telling tb75 that RI is more likely than SD to go Democratic, since Nixon won RI by 6% and SD by 9%. tb75 had McGovern winning SD but losing RI, which I thought was unlikely. However, I personally think Agnew wins SD even without the Eagleton scandal due to the huge sympathy vote that he would get following Nixon's death.

Just like 2004, only MD goes to the GOP.
