The US presidential race 2008 has now reached its final run. While American people wait for this run to be complete on November, 4 and the results to be announced, the Muskie Club would like to think of Edmund Muskie who was viewed as a frontrunner for the Democratic Presidential nomination before the 1972 election in US.

THE EDMUND S. MUSKIE FOUNDATION was organized in 1996, shortly after the death of former Senator Edmund S. Muskie, to honor and continue his lifelong commitment to preserving the environment and fostering civic responsibility.

  • The man was on ibogaine.

  • @AndreasAntoniusMaria I wish people were more extreme.

  • Nixon, on claiming victory in 1968, called Hubert Humphrey "a dedicated patriot, a decent and honourable man," Ed Muskie warranted the same evaluation as his top of the ticket. Brains, character, commitment. Lacked the mongrel streak as we say in Australia - considering the paranoia and poison of the Nixon era, it would definitely have been better (probably much, much better) had the man from Maine been elected. Mr Muskie was indisputably one of the great Secretaries of State in US history.

  • Ed Muskie was a good man but not a good Presidential Campaigner

  • MUSKIE: (campaigning in Wisconsin): He talked like a farmer with terminal cancer trying to borrow money on next year's crop."

  • Hey, thanks for putting this up. But I'm fairly sure that this is from the 1968 campaign, when he ran on Humphrey's ticket. As a long-time Maine resident myself, I am pleased that Russians have taken an interest in the guy!

  • Fascist. Pig. Enivorment does not exist, and all he did was lower MPG on vehicles because of stupid ass emission "laws" all of which were Unconstituional..

  • should of been a Muskie-Shriver ticket.

  • First of all, if I was an American I would vote for the democratic party.

    Elections are won by the votes of the moderate people, not by the votes of the extreme progressives or extreme conservatives. McGov was too left, too progressive for moderate voters, so he lost from crook Nixon big time.

    No doubt that mcgov is a very decent honest man, but this does not make a person the best candidate for president, I fear.
