My recollection of McCarthy was his developing and legitimizing the youth/anti war vote while RFK remained uncommitted to running. Bobby then surprised everyone by co-opting the "Get Out Of Vietnam" position (which, up to then, he was pretty silent about) from McCarthy leaving poor Gene without a constituency. He always reminded me how unscrupulous and opportunistic RFK really was. But it seems everytime a Kennedy gets into position to lead the country over the precipice, God steps in and saves us again.

A campaign sign of the era: RFK has the profile. McCarthy has the courage.
