Liberals[edit]

I recall hearing in a documentary that many liberals did not vote for Humphrey because they did not like him as a candidate. The article doesn't seem to discuss this. Considering how narrow an election this was, is this true and did this lead to Humphrey losing?-24.189.108.166 (talk) 02:23, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know the title of the documentary?--William S. Saturn (talk) 06:25, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Particiation in primaries[edit]

"Humphrey entered the race too late to participate in any primaries". I'd think we should change the word "any" to "most". For example, he able to run as a write-in in the Illinois primary as a write-in, and placed third. SecretName101 (talk) 07:37, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
