...and I do remember "win one for the gipper" as a rallying cry for some republicans.

George McGovern wouldn't be a rallying cry for many democrats. Partially because of the time that's passsed, partly due to the bitter divisions of the party that year and the margins of his loss.

However, I do remember seing a lot of goldwater posters being brandished by republicans during the 1984 campaign. It'd be nice to see some connection between an Obama victory and the memories that some of us 1972 "McGovernites" hold onto.

A;so, I DID say that my 2 cents may be overpriced!

PEACE!
