Abstract
For about six months, from the middle of January through the fifth of June, 1968, I was involved in various phases of Senator Eugene J. McCarthy's campaign for the Presidency. I entered the campaign, not as an academic seeking to shed new light on the art of presidential politics, but as a committed supporter of the Ideas and Ideals of a man who, in the year 1968, sought that highest office of this land (and perhaps of this earth) - the Presidency of the United States of America. My Senior Independent Project is, for the most part, completed. I lived it. This is a report of the experiences, observations, and insights which I encountered during six months of involvement in a presidential campaign. The experiences are to a great extent personal, and my observations and insights may be no different from those of any political scientist who of necessity finds himself at least a casual observer of presidential politics. Perhaps my conclusions are enhanced, however, by the fact that I was personally involved, that I was a participant in and not just an observer of, the system at which my comments and criticisms will be directed. But in the end "the proof is in the pudding". My Senior Independent Project was working for six months on Eugene McCarthy's campaign. It was a field work project and not a research paper, end this is a report not a thesis.
