Elections Revisited: 1968 Democratic Primaries

[Kaine for Senate '18]

The poll will end on Wednesday.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I'd probably go for McCarthy as a big "up yours" to Johnson's Vietnam policy.

[YRABNNRM]

RFK

[CPT MikeyMike]

Voting for Humphrey though none are very appealing to me.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I'll admit to supporting LBJ.

[True Democrat]

My preferences, in order:

HHH
LBJ
RFK
McGovern
McCarthy
Young
Smathers

[Hash]

RFK

[Daniel Adams]

LBJ is probably the least bad...

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Senator Eugene McCarthy (D)

I was torn between two Senators as to support in the 1968 Democratic Primaries. Robert F. Kennedy of New York and Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota. Out of the two I narrowly prefer Senator McCarthy of Minnesota. Not to mention 1968 probably would have been the only Presidential Election where I would have supported McCarthy, from 1972 onwards in my books Gene was a terrible candidate.

W/I : Wallace

[Lief 🗽]

I'm split between McCarthy and RFK, but I picked RFK in the end.

Because rascists are cool!

[Хahar 🤔]

McCarthy.

There were certain elecments of the Kennedy campaign that appeal very, very strongly to me, but I'd have been a McCarthy man from the start.

no, it's not.  I do have a George Carlin shirt that is actually from a show he played ca. 1975.

no, it's not.

Remaking those old campaign shirts must be the new thing. I definitely saw a girl walking around with a Dukakis-Bentsen '88 shirt downtown the other week.

There are a lot of idiots in Center City (downtown Philly).

     Eh, it could have been worse. She could have shown her support for Al Smith in '28.
Too bad she wouldn't have any clue who he was.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

We need someone to vote for either RFK or Humphrey in the next few hours.

     I understand. It would be nice though to not delay the general election. After all, I'm itching to vote again. Vote early & vote often, as they say.

I'll check fairly often today; as soon as I see a winner, I'll lock the thread.  If it's late and nothing's changed, I'll flip a coin.
