You never fully get over [losing a presidential campaign]. But I've had a good life. I've enjoyed myself 90 percent of the time.
George McGovernIt's a tough thing, to know what to do about a war that deep in your gut you feel is wrong and yet watch your peers going off to fight in that war.
George McGovernI would support a Presidential candidate who pledged to take the following steps: ... At the end of the war in the Persian Gulf, press for a comprehensive Middle East settlement and for a 'new world order' based not on Pax Americana but on peace through law with a stronger U.N. and World Court.
George McGovernI seek the presidency because I believe deeply in the American promise and can no longer accept the diminishing of that promise.
