When Missouri Senator Thomas Eagleton was picked as George McGovern's running mate on the 1972 Democratic ticket, a handful of pinbacks were rushed into production--then hastily pulled from circulation when, following revelations of a history of mental illness, Eagleton was replaced by Sargent Shriver. To this day, McGovern faults the Eagleton Affair for his punishing defeat that November. McGovern-Eagleton pinbacks are prized by collectors who appreciate historical irony. This large jugate pinback bears the trademark slogan of the campaign.
