2. He would've won the presidency in 1968
He was the only one who could've united the party at the convention. He was also the only one who could've gotten the south (blacks and whites) to vote Democratic that year, too. He would've also gotten the support of the Daley/Meany people, too, which McCarthy NEVER would have got.

His assassination was one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century. Probably more so than JFK's, IMHO.
