	George McGovern - dKosopedia
		George McGovern was a U.S. Senator from South Dakota and was the Democratic presidential nominee in 1972.

	Las Vegas SUN: Aging McGovern Still Campaigns for Peace
		McGovern still yearns to reach the many others - the ones who voted against him, their sons and daughters, the ones he is often blamed for driving from the Democratic Party fold.
		McGovern's early politics were mostly about supporting farmers, and his grass roots style was well-suited to a state where voters still expect to look each of their would-be representatives in the eye.
		McGovern saw his popular support at home plummet when he became an early opponent of the war in Vietnam, and he was passed over for his party's presidential nomination in 1968.

	George Stanley McGovern Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		George Stanley McGovern (born 1922), a U.S. senator since 1962 and an early opponent of the war in Vietnam, was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for president in 1972.
		George McGovern was born on July 19, 1922, in Avon, South Dakota, a son of the Middle Border--the great prairie region steeped in agrarian, small-town, churchgoing ways and in populist liberalism and hope.
		McGovern became executive secretary of the South Dakota Democratic party in 1953, a year of low Democratic morale, in a state where the party scarcely existed; he served until 1956, when he was elected to Congress.

	George McGovern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		McGovern picked up valuable momentum to win the rest of the needed primaries, and this momentum was put to good use by McGovern's effective campaign manager, Gary Hart, a presidential contender himself 12 years later.
		McGovern was also repeatedly attacked by associates of incumbent President Richard Nixon, who used dirty tricks and illegal tactics during the campaign which included the infamous Watergate break-in, which eventually led to Nixon's resignation in 1974.
		McGovern's campaign also represented the last time a mostly grass roots candidacy was able to wrest control of either party's presidential nomination against the perceived will of a party's leadership - with perhaps the only recent parallel of national note being Ned Lamont's defeat of Joseph Lieberman in the 2006 Connecticut Senate Democratic Primary.
