We agree that the 60s saw explosive social change, but the question is why in the 60s, eric . There are periods in history, so far as i can see it, where human energy both destructively seem to come to a boil. You are living in a time of incredible economic growth. In theory, things had never, ever, ever been better. It was just a really american Norman Rockwell vision. But the trouble is there are all kinds of tensions. The Civil Rights Movement is the seminal event of the 1960s that ignites so many of the changes in society. The day has come when racism must be banished. The Civil Rights Movement was incredibly inspiring. But at the same time, the women in it were not recognized as leaders in the same way that the men were. Its said to us, if these movements we love still are not equal, then there has to be an autonomous womens movement. Mr. President , the democratic platform promises to work for equal rights for women, including equal pay. What have you done for the women . Im sure

Treats those remaining contests. Once you vanquished all your rivals, do you keep running in those remaining states . Do you make a show of competing for those contests when you really are the only one left . I think oftentimes the answer to that depends on whether the candidate thinks that he or she has a chance at winning those states in the general election too, so even once the primary is settled if there are competitive states, swing states left on the primary cal, thats a great reason for them to get additional candidate visits, get additional political attention.

He obviously won the primary by a mile but that was no surprise because he was the only candidate left
