On July 13, 1972, Democratic Party nominee for President George McGovern made the single worst choice of a running mate in the history of the United States. On that day, he selected Missouri Senator Thomas A. Eagleton to share the national ticket with him. This disastrous decision destroyed any slight chance McGovern may have had of running a competitive race against incumbent President Richard Nixon. This is the story of that selection and its aftermath.
