eagleton, was dropped by mcgovern once it came out eagleton had been hospitalized for mental illness. >> there is not much cause for dancing in the streets of sioux falls, south dakota tonight. >> reporter: on election day he lost every state but massachusetts, and the democratic party lost once loyal voters who would never return. so, by the time the kid who met him at the airport pulled the party back to the middle, the term mcgovernite was a slur democrats would use against each other. as for the man, though, a kind of lasting respect came george mcgovern's way, as senator and afterwards when he made a cause of fighting hunger. to the end he stuck to his views whether they were in fashion or not. john donvan, abc news, washington. drivers across the country are getting a
