This six-page undergraduate paper analyzes the Democratic primary campaign of 1968. The author notes that Eugene McCarthy and Robert Kennedy ran on anti-war platforms, both were Senators with solid Democratic credentials, and both were accomplished public speakers. But RFK had the Kennedy mystique and the Kennedy money, and upon winning the California primary in June appeared to have clinched the nomination. The candidate who ultimately won the nomination, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, prevailed because of Kennedy’s assassination and his ability to gather delegate support from the non-primary states.
