I'm not sure if this has been posted here. This election took place fourn months prior to the Tet Offensive.

We all need to take lessons from Ghandi and King and to paraphrase Dorothy Day love does the trick.

I was surprised when I couldn't find this being discussed on DU. Looks like I just overlooked the thread.
