There was speculation in 1964,that LBJ was considering Eugene McCarthy as a running mate. What If this turned out to be true. How Would this effect 1968? Who would have been the first anti war candidate? While Senator Humphrey could have been open about his opposition to the war, I think he would have been too loyal to LBJ to run against him. I think he would have rum after Kennedy was killed and gotten enough party and organized labor support to win. Since he Is not connected to Johnson and the war he wins the election.
