May he rest in Peace. I worked in his California primary campaign. Like is posted elsewhere. RFK came in and stole Gene's thunder and won the California primary, but RFK was shot to death that night in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel.
He was a quiet, witty, intellect. Old school democrat, probably not a lot different that Joe Lieberman is today except Gene wanted us out of Vietnam.
And I outgrew the leftist ideology like many others and today stand a FREEPER. But I think there was something nobler about many politicians in those days who fought for principle rather than what the latest focus group or poll is saying.
