The Primaries, Part 1: Challenge to a President

Compares the differences of the 1968 primaries to campaigns of previous years. Depicts that the failure to retain old methods of campaigning was due to television and the growing unrest about the Vietnam War. Shows Johnson announcing his plans for de-escalating the war and his decision not to seek re-election and follows the campaigns of McCarthy, Nixon, Romney, and Robert Kennedy.
