Poster with separate brightly colored states pinned helter-skelter on a map of the U.S. "America needs McGovern. He can put it together." George McGovern (1922-2012) was a native of South Dakota. After serving as a bomber pilot in Europe in WWII, he attended college when he returned after the war, earning a PhD and becoming a professor of history. He decided to try his hand at politics and was elected to the US House of Representatives in 1956 and 1958. His first bid for a Senate seat was unsuccessful, but he won in 1962. He became known for his opposition to military involvement in Vietnam and when he ran as the Democratic candidate for President in 1972, it was as a "peace candidate." His first vice presidential running mate was Thomas Eagleton. Eagleton resigned from the ticket and Sargent Shriver (1915-2011) was selected to replace him. As a member of the "Kennedy clan" (married Eunice Kennedy), it was also hoped that would give the ticket an "edge" toward victory. But Nixon won in a landslide with running mate Spiro Agnew. Interestingly, Agnew was pressured to resign in 1973, and Nixon in 1974.
