Based on my confusing them all the time, the challenge is to create a ticket with Eugene McCarthy for President and George McGovern for Vice President, or McGovern for President and McCarthy for Vice President.
What year 68 or 72? In 68, It would be McCarthy McGovern. In 72 it would have been the other way around. In 68 McGovern would have had to run has VEEP and Senator in South Dakota. Like LBJ in 60. In 72 McCarthy was not liked by many in the party. Two midwestern men would have been a different type ticket. George was a work alocholic type person . While McCarthy was a bit lazy.
