Let's see now, what Democrat gets my vote? Udall, Bayh, Shriver, Sanford, Carter, Schaap, Harris? You mean if I don't pick one of them, I have to go all the way over to the right to Wallace for president? Hold it. There's another Democrat who's catching the eye, the ear, the approval of Democrats and independents. He's not on the left, he's not on the right. He's the inexhaustible senator whose brains and straight answers might be just what the White House needs. Elect Senator Scoop Jackson while there's still time to save the 70s.
