        Why was LBJ a write in candidate?

        He wasn't yet absolutely sure he wanted to run again..some party regulars not wanting McCarthy encouraged the write in.Most observers believed if he would have crushed McCarthy in the primary as a write in candidate he would have ran instead of declining.

        lol. And we wound up with Nixon. Typical liberal self-destructive politics. 2000. 2016. Liberals never learn.

        I was a "McCarthy kid" in NH, 1968. A gas pump attendant in NH told me LBJ was in for a surprise.

        Exactly the same as 1968. Very tragic year that has lasted a lifetime in negative ways. Why I am an independent today, hard to say which day of the year was worse. Glen for Gene hypocrisy.

        These students, participants in what McCarthy refers to as his "children's crusade" have cut their hair, modified their wardrobes, and become "clean for Gene" to contact/target the conservative voters in the state

        Could anyone run a campaign based largely on “peace” today? Seems like it’d be an uphill battle ...

        I watched this again last night on "The Sixties". As many claim, this era was worse than what we are going through....so far.

        It was full of strife but no full-on White Supremacists in the WH using Russia against us. Fascism & lawlessness endorsed by CIC now.
