Talk:Fred R. Harris

message: The first paragraph describing the 76 campaign isn't clearly labelled as such; with the "4 years earlier" statement it's very confusing.
I won't change the page, because I don't have time to source my clear memories. But the article as it now stands significantly overstates Harris's role in 1976 presidential politics. When the two most prominent possible liberal candidates for the nomination (Mondale and Ted Kennedy) declined to run, Harris became one of several hopefuls trying to capture the support of the liberal wing of the party. The article makes it seem as if Udall and Harris had comparable support, while others were insignificant. In fact, Udall quickly emerged as the liberal candidate, with Harris being only one amonmg several who failed to capture that role. Senator Birch Bayh was probably at least as prominent as Harris. Founding Peace Corps Director (and Kennedy borhter-in-law) Sargent Shriver was not much less prominent. And I think there are others I'm forgetting. Dvd Avins 20:28, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: 1976 Presidential Campaign

message: I don't know what the details are, but the story is obviously more complex than how it's presented here. After looking at all the other related Wikipedia articles, it's clear that Harris actually succeeded Edmonson in 1964 -- not Kerr. But a casual reader would never guess that from this account. If somebody knows the real details of the story, please take a few minutes to straighten out those passages in the article. Cgingold 17:26, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not complicated at all. Edmondson left the seat before the rest of the new senators were inaugurated so Harris could gain seniority over other new senators. It happens often. - KrakatoaKatie 12:26, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

message: why no mention of the Kerner Comission ? , also, no mention of the Kerner Commission in the Watts Riots artile.- Joe Cicero  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bill Ladd (talk • contribs) 18:27, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Most of my familiarity with Fred Harris comes from watching his interview on The Dick Cavett Show ca. 1970.  I guess I had the impression from the interview that he, in addition to this wife, was of Native American blood.  This article doesn't answer that question one way or the other.RadioKAOS (talk) 07:07, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

message: The general banner about insufficient sources was dated May 2010, and a good many citations have been added to this article since then. As nearly as I can tell, issues that existed then have been resolved, so I have removed the banner from the main page today. Bruin2 (talk) 01:42, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

message: I believe this article now meets the requirements for Class C. I have made this change for WP:Oklahoma. Bruin2 (talk) 01:42, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
