Liberals

I recall hearing in a documentary that many liberals did not vote for Humphrey because they did not like him as a candidate. The article doesn't seem to discuss this. Considering how narrow an election this was, is this true and did this lead to Humphrey losing?-24.189.108.166 (talk) 02:23, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
