The new McGovern finds public
By TOM TIEDE
WASHINGTON -INEA)—
When George McGovern first
ran for president in 1968, he
looked like he was on leave
from a South Dakota dairy
farm. He was short on hair,
confidence and cool. He wore
a green iridescent suit that
cleverly turned colors in the
sun. He hauled around a pair
of enormous cuff links that
an observer swore "dragged
the ground." And he had this
very difficult problem with
his socks —they kept droop
ing under his high-flying
trouser cuffs.
“People think 1 come
across like a Sunday school
teacher,” he said at the
time, bravely, “that I'm not
an effective communicator.
Well, I think the American
people are tired of flash and
charisma and show-business
spectacles.” He bent to
pick up his socks. “I think
truthfulness and trustworthi
ness are more important.”
He won only 146M> votes at
the Democratic convention.
So much for what’s impor
tant in politics.
Today, four years and a
hell of a lot of flash and show
business later, George Mc-
Govern is clearly not going
back to the farm. Gone is the
iridescent suit (“It’s been
donated to the Smithsonian,”
says a staffer), his hair
curls over his ears, and he
never takes a step without
executive-length hose.
Lights. Camera. Bring on the
make-up man. Before every
appearance, the new McGov
ern, 49, who used to be in the
sainthood business but now
is just a politician, checks
his sun lamp tan, fluffs the
bulk knot in his silk tie,
winks at sidekicks like Shir
ley MacLaine (who just
“loves” him) or her brother,
Warren Beatty (who just
“digs” him), and figures out
exactly how truthful and
trustworthy he can be for the
particular audience.
George Stanley McGovern,
the junior senator from South
Dakota, is hardly ever mis
taken for a Sunday schooler

any more. He comes on in
stead like the fellow who
would be Pope. The soft flat
voice is still there, he is not
yet able to conceal all his
nervousness, he still lacks
the confidence to deliver a
good, gutty joke—but the
time when Americans dis
missed him as "that gover
nor whatsisname” has ended.
Says Lester Spielman, a Mc-
Govern aide: “I remember
the day he talked to 3,000
Chicanos out in California.
Well, none of them could
speak English or understand
what he was saying. But, by-
God, they nodded and smiled
and cheered all the way
through the speech. Now
that’s proof. He’s got some
thing now and all those peo
ple knew it."
What McGovern has now
is easily defined. He has the
ear of the troubled public.
And he got it, at least in
part, by doing exactly what
he once denounced—g 0i n g
slick.
Once the most earthy, the
most specific and the most
anti-political of all major
candidates, he was also the
most repetitive, uncharis
matic and ignored. He en
tered the 1972 campaign (in
January of 1971) announcing
that he felt the country was
“tired of the old rhetoric, the
unmet promises, the image
makers”—and everybody
yawned.
So he shifted gears. He in
vented a new old rhetoric,
spread unmeetable promises
of his own (“SI,OOO annually
to every man, woman and
child in the country”), and
hired a whole staff of image
makers. His TV schedule
bloated. His interviews mul
tiplied. His contributed in
come climbed from zero to,
at last count, over $5 million.
Today, his campaign is in
distinguishable from that of
the other runners—chartered
planes, furious tours of blue
collar districts, every hair
in place, every word care
fully chosen. And it has
worked. Says a McGovern
staff coordinator, Amanda
Smith: “I talk now about
when we win the nomination,
rather than if.”
But the success has had a
price. Nobody knows how
high. If George McGovern’s
stock is rising, and his socks
are staying up, too, it’s been
at the expense of falling cred
ibility. Months ago, the sen
ator’s campaign manager,
Gary Hart, said that a good
part of McGovern’s strength
“is in his image of honesty
and consistency—and he
can’t afford to lose that.”
There are those who now
believe that he is losing it.
Staffer Les Spielman, for ex
ample, frankly states: “I
was more in agreement with
George in New Hampshire
than I am now.” And one of
the candidate’s field workers
put it more bluntly: “I still
back McGovern, because
he’s still the best of the lot.
But, wow, what’s happened
to him? He’s ruined his
whole thing.”
McGovern’s thing all along
has been low-key radicalism,
a quiet plea for the nation’s
revival. And to many of the
candidate’s long-s tand i n g
(they say long-suffering)
rooters—people between the
ages of 15 and 30—any devia
tion is a bad deviation. Says
Doug Willit, a college student
from New York City who re
cently paid $5 to hear this
hero speak: “Like, I remem
ber when this guy would sit
down with anybody and rap
about real problems, about
how crappy everything is.
Now all you ever see him is
on TV, saying nothing. The
other night he was on and
somebody asked him how
fast he would change the
country around if he’s elect
ed. Man, he just squirmed.
He said—you know how poli
ticians ta 1 k—he said that
people had to remember the
‘President couldn’t change
the country’ or something,
that Congress passed the
laws. Well, like, what’s he
mean? He means: ‘Don’t
worry middle America, I’m
not the revolutionary vou be-
/£2lass£fied ads... z
WO BIG! A
Page 13
— Griffin Daily News Thursday, July 6,1972
lieve.’ He means: ‘Don’t
worry, everything’s gonna
still be crappy.’ ”
Indeed, candidate McGov
ern has changed the pitch of
his campaign orchestration.
He still talks about the need
to get out of Vietnam, but
now prefaces it with a con
servative assurance that, “I
know this nation must be
strong defensively and
I know we must meet our
commitments to other na
tions . . .”
He still is in favor of bus
ing for the purpose of school
integration, but explains his
stand not so much on moral
ity these days as on the rule
of law: “I believe we should
obey the Supreme Court de
cision on this matter.”
He still believes in the
right of pregnant women to
make their own decisions to
have abortions, but says on
the one hand that permitting
legislation is a state rather
than a federal matter, and
on the other hand, “I’m not
going to lose the presidency
over the abortion issue.”
He still believes in the re
distribution of wealth, reduc
tion of the national defense
budget (by 40 per cent over
three years), withdrawal of

assures one and all that, “If
anybody has any better
ideas, I’m open-minded, I’m
willing to listen.” Look, he
reportedly assured critics at
the recent governors’ confer
ence in Houston: “Congress
will provide the balance
against any of the programs
I recommend.”
None of this sidestepping,
this hedging, is, of course,
shameful. It is, in fact, poli
tical. “This is give and
take,” says McGovern. And
as a liberal Democrat from
a conservative Republican
state, the senator has had to
indulge all his public life.
When South Dakotans object
ed to his early hard views on
Vietnam, he was disposed to
issue a statement that, “I’m
against U.S. withdrawal
from Vietnam.” During the
1968 senatorial campaign, his
liberal voting record in Con
gress slumped dramatically.
When the first glimmerings of
success began in this year’s
primaries, he told Playboy
magazine that he would be
“more circumspect about
the kind of groups with
whom I am associated,” a
kissing-off of the rabid radi
cals whom he once appre
ciatively courted.

tion, is at times dirty, and if
most professionals and most
voters know and accept the
realties of it, George Mc-
Govern has still shocked
many by playing the game
by the rules. He was, after
all, the man who promised
he was above such sport.
“My greatest single asset is
truth-telling,” he said once.
“I don’t duck the issues and
I’m not capable of decep
tion.” There are some who.
believe he still believes this.'.
There are others who wonder -
with reason.
For this own part, George-
McGovern denies that he is:
something else in ’72 than he;
was in ’6B. Speaking from
the front seat of his planed
recently, weary from 14;
hours of campaigning, he
said that, “I don’t want the
presidency bad enough to
change my ideals for it,”
and he said he would never
deceive his supporters: “1
will never let (my people)
down, and I think they know
that. They know that I will
make reasonable modifica
tions in my program, that I
have to do this; this is the
way it is. But they also know
that I will never betray them
on fundamental principles.
They know I will end the
war, if I’m elected, they
know I will never sell out to
greedy self-interest groups,
they know I won’t give in to
the forces of bigotry.”
And indeed, so far anyway,
most of McGovern’s people
do still seem to know this.
When he began the current
campaign 18 months ago, he
had six staff members. They
are still with him, plus
100,000 volunteer workers all
around the nation. Many of
them work 15 hours a day,;
most for zero compensation,
and all with evangelistic
zeal.
Why? Because, says staf-i
fer Amanda Smith, “McGov-;
ern is decent, truly decent. I
remember once he was at-:
tacked by a militant fem
inist. Instead of getting mad,
instead of writing her off as:
a nut, he came to me and
said, ‘Amanda, what can we
do about her problem?’”:
This is the real, the enduring
George McGovern, says
Smith. “The kind of man
who listens, who is con
cerned, even when he’s being
attacked.” Never mind his
alterations, his new rhetoric
she says, pancake make-up
can’t cover the basic Mc-
Govern good.
