RIP George McGovern
Senator George McGovern died today at the age of 90 in South Dakota. I was too young to vote for McGovern when he ran in 1972, but was not too young to help the grownups around me do the lit drops, sign placements and the other volunteer work you do to get a candidate elected. I wasn’t too young to be opposed to the Vietnam War and I wasn’t too young to recognize and admire this politician who seemed to maintain his basic decency and honesty while articulating principled positions on the issues of the day.
