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.

Why do you need coats?
You don't always need a coat, sometimes a light jacket is fine. But when it is really cold or snowing, you don't want to shiver and feel so cold. I like to wear a zipper-up hoodie. That way, I can be protected by the elements, but if it gets warm, I can unzip it and get more air. It's a personal preference, really.
