I understand that Senator George McGovern of South Dakota was a candidate with no chance but, who would have been a better running mate he could selected instead of the controversial Senator Thomas Eagleton of Missouri? Is there any Vice Presidential nominee that could save him from the forty-nine state thumping Nixon gave him or is there really no hope?Eagleton's controversy was part of what dragged down the Democratic National Ticket in 1968. Would he have simply nominated Sargent Shriver the first time if he hadn't chosen Eagleton?
