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.
