"President Markey's assassination shows that for too long the threat of right-wing extremism has been underestimated"

Some notes:

• Gabaldon ran for the same seat he did in 1964 and lost, in 1978 and he won
• Wilson, being pro-choice, had to face an independent pro-life ticket in the form of TX governor Clayton Williams and Congressman Trent Lott (Lott became bitter after losing the Whip position election). It only got 5.3%. Could have gotten more if Williams hadn't compared rape to bad weather.
• Tim Penny did not support Lamm's 2004 campaign. Lamm was quiet on immigration in 2000.
• The San Francisco attacks were a series of bombings around San Francisco by left wing extremists on May 19th, 2015.
• Markey was assassinated by a deranged member of the Michigan militia who fought in the Cuban war before being discharged due to psychological reasons in 2017.
• Hatfield could have stopped the Republican's lurch to the right. Alas, a deranged man's bullet got him.
• Rockefeller did die of a heart attack while having sex with an aide. In 2022, everyone knows that, but the government insists it was a Brain Anuerysm.
• Needless to say, the war in Afghanistan took a toll on Denton.
