And interesting thing is that South Dakota buried in 2012 two of its top politicians: James Abdnor (who defeated McGovern in 1980) and Bill Janklow.

I greatly admire George McGovern, though I would had never voted for him in a general election.

If he dies soon, I will change my avatar and signature in his honor.

My first response to this thread was, "I'm pretty sure the results of that election have been in for some time now."

George McGovern died during the night.  RIP.  Sad

He did lead a full life, and was a war hero, with the Distinguished Flying Cross.  He never publicized it, and refused to use it in his campaign.

Yes, he was sick and, at 90, had a very rich and accomplished life, but I can't stop thinking it's too soon Sad

RIP

Here's his Grauniad obit. It takes a harsher tone than I think many here would be happy with, but is worth reading.

I'm not a fan of the man's politics. However, he was honest, dedicated, and hard working. As well, he helped serve our country in World War Two. Rest in peace.

So how does he compare to other contenders by age? (Limiting it only to the two major parties. I know Thurmond lived to 100, but he was 3rd Party.)
