..................................Shock waves at the New Hampshire Primary
Senator Eugene McCarthy, running mostly against the War in Vietnam, shocks the political world by receiving 42% of the votes cast in the Democratic primary. In short order, Bobby Kennedy would enter the race, and soon thereafter Lyndon Johnson, the incumbent President, announced to the nation that he would no longer seek re-election.
