Would Bobby Kennedy gotten the nomination at the 68 convention...
Advertisements [?]
had he not been killed? Eugene McCarthy was building steam but was a one trick pony IMHO. Wallace was a dem but wouldnt have gotten the nod for obvious reasons. And I've read the Humphrey was allready promised the nom by dealings from LBJ, who was a master at those things.
Had he not gotten the nom would he have gone 3rd party?
At the time everyone who I knew had RFK allready nominated and elected shortly before his death. But this was in Boston.
So what do you think? Was Bobby a "shoo-in" for the nom or would HHH been awarded it?
