The listing, 1972 George McGOVERN president Thomas EAGLETON VP WITHDREW political campaign election Tab pin has ended.
In 1972 George McGovern the Democratic candidate for President selected Missouri Senator Thomas Eagleton to be the Vice Presidential candidate. Issues emerged after the Democrat Convention that Eagleton had received counseling. The reaction turned from 1000 percent support to the withdrawal of Eagleton as the candidate on the team.
Shriver became the successor candidate. The team lost to Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew the Republican candidates.
This fold over pocket or lapel tab was made by the official Democratic party producer maker of campaign buttons, pins, badges and medals, Votes Unlimited,, Fernadale, New York to promote George McGovern for president and Thomas Eagleton for vice president, 1972.
Votes Unlimited, Ferndale, New York is printed on the top of the tab. It is reported that this tab "entered production prior to Eagleton's withdrawal and (was) never distributed."
