        It was a shame. Eagleton had been a very successful DA in St. Louis (he even appeared on an episode of What's My Line), but because he spent time in a psychiatric hospital for depression, I believe it was, he was somehow unsuitable. The sad thing is, it would happen today too.

        The stigma of depression was too much at that time.

        Funny, we now have a President that has a mental illness, when just the idea of treatment for mental illness was disqualifying for Mr. Eagleton

        Eagleton was sacrificed because he received help for mental illness. Today we have cult following of the mentally unstable in DC.

        Eagleton is smiling from above. Thinking what a crazy guy in the White House.

        And to think he was "disqualified," because he had seen a psychiatrist! Fast forward to today!

        George said he was a thousand percent for Eagleton. That wasn't accurate. McGovern was a war hero--B24 pilot WWII. But he never wanted it mentioned during his Presidential campaign. That wasn't smart.
