Welcome to This Day In At Least I Voted For McGovern History as your host Allan Appel and Jason Bischoff-Wurstle of the New Haven Museum time travel back to 1972 when anti-war liberal George McGovern was going up against Richard Nixon in the presidential election of 1972.

Nixon carried Connecticut, and every other state except Massachusetts.
