1. America as "We the people " knew it ended when this man was assinated.

My heart breaks when I think what might have been. We knew hope, we knew compassion, we knew faith in our government. It was ripped from us with assainations of Martin, JFK, and RFK. We lost the direction of our country when we lost them, IMHO.

7. He certainly spoke in "Poetry"

But I dream things that never were, and ask, Why Not??

2. He would've won the presidency in 1968

He was the only one who could've united the party at the convention. He was also the only one who could've gotten the south (blacks and whites) to vote Democratic that year, too. He would've also gotten the support of the Daley/Meany people, too, which McCarthy NEVER would have got.

His assassination was one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century. Probably more so than JFK's, IMHO.

9. Correct,Sir.

I've posted my own recollections of his winning the nomination from an interview with my "Uncle Dick" Hughes, the sitting Governor of N.J. and Chairman of the Credential Committee at the 1968 DNC

6. I saw him, on the day he died-

It was part of what made me the person I am today.

[GalleryGod]

8. As did I.
