George McGovern would be a moderate in today's Democrat party. I remember reading about he and his wife running a bed and breakfast in Connecticut after he was defeated for re-election in 1980.

Somehow, these old fools never want to get very far from DC when their politicking days are done. But McGovern was actually decrying all the government regulations and taxes which made turning a profit on a B&B extremely difficult. So maybe he actually learned something late in life.

Agreed. Today’s Democrat Party would turn on McGovern and reject him for being too conservative. Among other things he served his country honorably in wartime. Can’t have THAT now, can we?
