If you'd like to be on or off this Upper Midwest (WI, IA, MN, MI, and pretty much anyone else interested) list, largely rural and outdoors issues, please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.

More appropriate for Diana's political list, but I pinged it anyway.

If you're in the woods, unless you're knowledgeable, don't eat the mushrooms.

[Jimmy Valentine]

When McGovern went into private business, running a bed 'n breakfast hotel he went bankrupt.

his comment: "Well I guess I never realized that while in Congress I passed all of those laws that made it so hard on the small businessman."

He is hopeless.

[NeoCaveman]

So we issue our endorsement once more: McGovern for president.

I wish the Dems would, as he'd do no better than he did in 1972.

[brbethke]

I have saved this stupid button for 33 years. This was an official campaign button that was distributed nationwide by the McGovern for President campaign:

If you don't get the joke, then consider this question: what happens when one of these gears turns?

[DocJ69]

He will loose again, again.............

[SJackson]

So we issue our endorsement once more: McGovern for president....I wish the Dems would, as he'd do no better than he did in 1972.

As I recall, he was financed by a Ford heir.

Campaign finance reform, that couldn't happen today. While I disagreed with him, he had a major impact, ant today McGovern would never be heard.

[Artemis Webb]

I actually like George McGovern.

I think he's a good guy.

Not to say I would have voted for him in 1972. Besides...he's 83 years old. Nice guy though...I wish I could buy him a beer sometime.

[A.A. Cunningham]

He's still a loser.

[SJackson]

I actually like George McGovern.... I think he's a good guy.

I know I wouldn't have voted for him, because I didn't. But he was a good guy. IMO wrong on Vietnam (later right on Cambodia, where he wanted us to intercede, too late), but a courageous American who served his country bravely. The Dems don't seem to be able to come up with those types of candidates anymore.

[Marine_Uncle]

A great map to remind some who forgot.

[4CJ]

If McGovern runs again, I'm voting for Nixon.

[muir_redwoods]

Perfect! After thirty years the left still thinks McGovern is suited for the presidency.

[Dog Gone]

So we issue our endorsement once more: McGovern for president.

When he's the best you've got on your bench, you're in a world of hurt.

[Artemis Webb]

You sure have that right. Scoop Jackson was the best of that breed and today the Democrats run in three stripes:

Stupid
Naive
Evil

...or a combination thereof.

[SJackson]

If McGovern runs again, I'm voting for Nixon.

I hope it doesn't come to that, I know nothing about what she's been doing with her life, but I'd probably vote for Trish too. As well as against Hillary.

[SJackson]

It's sad. I could think of a few others, but you're right, they're largely gone.

[SJackson]

Perfect! After thirty years the left still thinks McGovern is suited for the presidency.

Closer to 40. Remember, this is from Madison, WI. Leisure suits haven't arrived yet.

[freespirited]

When McGovern went into private business, running a bed 'n breakfast hotel he went bankrupt.

But he did become a millionaire from his real estate investments.

McGovern flew 25 missions in the B-24 Liberator; too bad that such a man did not see the virtue in a strong military.
