Eugene McCarthy, RIP
Former Senator Eugene McCarthy has passed away at 89 years of age. McCarthy occupies a footnote in American political history. He ran in a primary against Lyndon Johnson basically causing Johnson to drop out of the race.

It's interesting that McCarthy's death is getting such press right now. Many are comparing him with Howard Dean today. Democrats, beware! The anti-war left caused the Democrats to lose the White House that election and every election since except for four years of Carter madness and eight years of Clinton moderation.
