The leak was an attempt to bolster the libertarian brand.

209. I didn't say anything of that sort. I said in the FEW primaries he was in, he got more total votes

than eventual winner McG. BETWEEN the two of them, and neither won those primaries when both were in it head to head(I believe JVL had his name on a couple after he left the race as it was too late to change the ballots).

and you are correct. The later spin on him made it IMPOSSIBLE for anyone like him or Jim Florio in NJ to win an election in 2013
therefore, if you wanted someone like that, it is now impossible.

Nobody was more worker friendly and union friendly than JVL. And NO one was a bigger populist.

But if President Obama attempted to do what he did, he never would have won office.
Because they smeared JVL and they smeared Florio (and Grey Davis too for that matter).

But look at the primaries the two were in (and JVL wasn't in many). JVL got more votes at that time than McG. did.

But how many electoral votes did McG get? That proves my point.

and in 1968, had he lived, Bobby would NOT have been the nominee. HHH still would have gotten it.

Shame they sold LBJ down the river.

The important part of JVL was that he was the biggest populist, and he kept the peace when other cities burned, and he was
pro-union, pro-labor, pro-worker, pro-everybody.

No wonder the other side hated him. But then, the same did it to Jimmy Carter in 1980.

Look how many democratic people misguidedly voted for the single worst president of all time- Ronald Reagan.

McGovern was a super nice person, however, he was against only Vietnam, he was not against all wars (and in fact was a war hero).
Most people were not against Vietnam at the start, only later on

Look at Ron Paul. He says he is against wars, but OMG, he voted FOR Afghanastan then later changed his vote.
