0:00.0 | You're listening to an airwave media podcast. |
0:05.0 | Okay, so first of all, coming up tomorrow is going to be the final days of the 1968 presidential election, one of the closest ever and one that involved |
0:19.6 | a vice president running in a president's stead against in this case an actual |
0:26.0 | former vice president and everything that happens in that last days of 1968, say from October 15th onward. We're going to talk about that. |
0:39.2 | I originally did this episode in 2008, but honestly you wouldn't even recognize it from the 2008 |
0:46.4 | episode you wouldn't even recognize it there's been so much added and so much |
0:51.0 | additional information things from newspapers at the time, and Humphrey's memoirs. |
0:56.8 | So that battle between Humphrey and Nixon and George Wallace as well, that three-way election of 68, we're going to talk about tomorrow. |
1:06.3 | So look out for that on this very feed. |
