I do not see the SLU reference anywhere although Washington University is used frequently. If that is indeed correct put it back.

message: Some websites say that he was pro-life and was picked by George McGovern to balance his own pro-choice stance. I think it's true since it appears in several sites, even neutral. This is one of these sites  85.240.18.225 (talk) 16:36, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Pro-Life Politician

message: Do we have anything other than Bob Novak's word to confirm that Eagleton really was the source of this line? Given that Eagleton was dead when Novak revealed him as the source, and Novak's word is worth less than nothing, I'd prefer if there were something more reliable to go by. 71.203.209.0 (talk) 04:04, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is not a discussion forum. From your first and only relevant sentence, I take it that I have consensus on my side that Novak's claim shouldn't be presented as the truth.--91.148.159.4 (talk) 18:38, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

text: I removed this. Novak is not a reliable source. Penskeer (talk) 00:28, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia reports correctly that Novak said Eagleton was the source. Novak was a nationally famous journalist for decades. The main issue is the acid/abortion tag that is about McGovern's positions, not about Novak's saying who first used the term, Rjensen (talk) 00:41, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

A right to abortion is not secured by this Constitution.

thread_title: The Hatch-Eagleton Amendment

message: Can someone include in this article exactly how eagleton decided to leave the ballet? In this day in agfe I think that would be political suicide if for example obama dropped biden as vp and picked Hillary Clinton for uttering a stupid statement  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.32.31.254 (talk) 19:05, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  How he left 

message: "Early in the process, McGovern wanted to ask Sargent Shriver, but could not reach him because he was on a flight to Moscow."  This has no reference cited, not to mention the fact that it makes no sense.  McGovern couldn't ask Shriver because of a flight to Moscow?  That is ridiculous.  No one would choose their running mate based on whether they happened to be flying to Moscow at a certain moment.  I'm taking this out for now...revert if you like. 174.102.212.191 (talk) 18:26, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Selection as VP Candidate 

message: This article seems to be badly missing a section between 'Selection as vice-presidential candidate' and 'Replacement on the ticket'. The latter section begins with 'McGovern said he would back Eagleton "1000 percent"', with no actual mention having been made of the specific revelations that came out, the damage done to the ticket, et cetera. We've just jumped from his selection to the aftermath of disclosures about his psychiatric record. The whole article frequently alludes to the Eagleton 'train wreck', but then manages to completely skip over the actual press revelations and events which constituted said wreck. 72.38.213.69 (talk) 18:34, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Reference 1 now appears to say that the author's last name is Noble and first name is Barnes. I strongly suspect this is wrong, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Dgndenver (talk) 09:08, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

message: Why is there a link to the Biography portal in his see also? I assumed that it is probably best changed but I didn't want to touch it without consulting first. Egezort (talk) 05:08, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
