Why did South Dakota residents consider him to be good enough to represent them in the Senate but not good enough to be their president?

1. McGovern was not really a "radical" liberal.  Nixon was merely able to paint him that way.
2. Back in the late-60s/early-70s the nation was more liberal, and so McGovern was not as liberal as he would be considered today.
3. Prairie Populism still thrived in SD back then, where it is all but dead today (and dying in MN, IA, and WI Sad)
