HIS SECOND POSTULATE STATED that people can be moved “on a human scale.” He cited Kennedy’s incident with the late Mary Joe Capeckne as causing him not to run. He said the people would have remembered that incident and they would have had doubt about Kennedy. The second human issue that he said affected this campaign was McGovern’s handling of the Eagleton affiar, which left McGovern in a “credibility crisis.”
The third postulate held that the incumbent will be* elected in good times. He said that in a “brisk or boon year” the incumbent will always be elected. This has happened since 1828. The people tend to vote their pocketbooks, he said.
The fourth postulate says that the American voter tends to be at best illogical and hypocritical at worst. He cited Virginia politics as an example of illogicality. People tend to vote for the man he said; even with Nixon’s landslide, he was shocked to see the GOP lose two seats in the Senate and only gain 13 in the House.
