Residents Back Eagleton on McGovern Ticket
Eight residents surveyed on Massachusetts Street largely support retaining Sen. Thomas Eagleton on George McGovern's ticket despite past psychiatric care. While most say the history should not bar him, several fear it could hurt McGovern in November and favor him revealing his medical history to McGovern earlier. Some plan to vote Republican regardless, with mixed views on Eagleton's resignation.
