Liberals
editI 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)

Particiation in primaries
edit"Humphrey entered the race too late to participate in any primaries". I'd think we should change the word "any" to "most". For example, he able to run as a write-in in the Illinois primary as a write-in, and placed third. SecretName101 (talk) 07:37, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
