let me finish with this. we live in a society where winning is everything, no matter how dishonest or sleazy the victor has conducted himself. the verse is true for the loser. he or she can be principled and visionary. lose the election, you're a loser. george mcgovern threw two dozen combat missions in world war ii and never bragged about his war heroi heroism. mcgorchlg was not a great politician. a great politician would have combined his opposition for which this good man will always be known with a strong sense of pride. again, he never did. as a politician running to be commander in chief, he should have, but didn't. i never saw exactly eye to eye with this good man from south dakota. he never showed the gut.
