| | United States presidential election, 1972 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | George Wallace, the popular segregationist governor of Alabama, ran a race-based campaign for the Democratic nomination, but saw his chances for nomination end when he was shot in May. The Democratic nomination was eventually won by George McGovern who ran an anti-war campaign against incumbent President Richard M. Nixon. | | | Even though Nixon was not a popular incumbent president in 1972, most of the clandestine activities later leading to the Watergate scandal were not well known in the press yet, and the infighting that divided the Democrats would ensure that McGovern would be defeated. | | | McGovern chose Thomas Eagleton as a vice presidential candidate, but Eagleton had difficulty campaigning due to widespread media criticism about his initial failure to disclose his receiving electroshock therapy for depression, and was eventually replaced by Sargent Shriver. |

| | McGovern was also a longtime friend of the late historian Stephen Ambrose, who wrote about McGoverns military experiences in his book THE WILD BLUE and called the senator one of the greatest patriots I know. McGoverns career is the subject of a new collection of essays titled GEORGE MCGOVERN: A POLITICAL LIFE, A POLITICAL LEGACY. | | | To most voters, McGovern will always be associated with his 1972 bid for president, and the cultural wars and political battles of the era. | | | McGoverns tireless work to end hunger in the United States and in the world led him more than once to cross party lines to work with like-minded colleagues such as Republican Sen. Bob Dole. |

| | But perhaps, as George McGovern ages gracefully while his country does not, it is time to stop looking at McGovern through the lenses of Scoop Jackson and those neoconservative publicists who so often trace their disenchantment with the Democratic Party to the 1972 campaign. | | | After Eagleton’s petulant departure, McGovern chose as his veep the undervalued Sargent Shriver, founding member of the America First Committee, a pro-life Catholic who admired Dorothy Day. | | | On a clement November morn, I chatted with Senator McGovern in his room at the Jefferson Hotel in Washington. |

| | George Wallace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The eventual Democratic nominee, Senator George McGovern of South Dakota would go on to be defeated by President Nixon in an overwhelming landslide, with Nixon carrying 49 of the 50 states. | | | George Corley Wallace (August 25, 1919 – September 13, 1998) was an American politician who was elected Governor of Alabama (as a Democrat) four times (1962, 1970, 1974 and 1982) and ran for U.S. President (in 1964, 1968, 1972 and 1976). | | | While Wallace was recovering in a Maryland hospital, he was out of the state for more than 20 days, so the state constitution required the lieutenant governor, Jere Beasley, to serve as acting governor from June 5 until Wallace returned to Alabama on July 7. |

| | But I had heard that a senator from South Dakota by the name of George McGovern was someone to watch - that he was attracting a lot of young voters with his strong, anti-Vietnam position. | | | Instead, the Nixon people passed out rumors that McGovern had showed himself to be a "sissy" in World War II, that he had avoided taking difficult missions and was scorned by his crew. | | | But the voters in the presidential campaign of 1972 weren't told about what a tough warrior McGovern had been. |
