Political maverick still at it years after 1956
In 1972 Terry Carpenter, Nebraskas real estate executive and longtime political provocateur, runs as a Democratic candidate against Sen. Carl Curtis. Carpenter, 72, rose to fame for a single dissenting vote at the 1956 Chicago GOP convention, earning national attention via television and a reputation for speaking his mind. He recalls party shifts and notes his middle name McGovern, joking about a distant tie to the boxer Terry McGovern, while denying any close link to the current Democratic nominee.
