Thomas F. Eagleton , senator from Missouri and McGovern's choice of running mate,was nominated for vice-president by the Democratic Convention in 1972. Soon after the convention adjourned, it came out that Eagleton had undergone shock treatments for his mental problems. McGovern said that he was still 1000% in favor of Eagleton's candidacy, (indicating to me that McGovern was mathematically challenged) , but before long agreed to pick a new running mate and Kennedy brother-in-law , R. Sargeant Shriver got the nod.
