Michael Pugliese, who in the mock Pres. election in the 6th grade in
'72, was one of two, in a class of thirty or so, who voted for
McGovern. Our neighborhood was almost entirely Nixon and George
Wallace country, though Montgomery County, MD. where I grew up was
liberal. McGovern won the C.D. there and Jerry Brown won the '76
primary.
