Up for sale is a Political Pinback Button (123) \"We Need You\" 1972 Ted Kennedy Draft Button. Kennedy declared he was not going to run for President in 1972. This prompted a batch of what is commonly known as \"draft\" buttons trying to convince him to run. See story below. See pics for condition.Chappaquiddick had greatly damaged Kennedy\'s future presidential prospects and he had declared, shortly after the incident, that he would not be a candidate in the 1972 U.S. presidential election. Nevertheless, polls in 1971 suggested he could win the nomination if he tried, and Kennedy gave some thought to running. In May of that year he decided not to, saying he needed \"breathing time\" to gain more experience and to take care of the children of his brothers and that in sum, \"It feels wrong in my gut. \"Nevertheless, in November 1971, a Gallup Poll still had him in first place in the Democratic nomination race with 28 percent. Once George McGovern was near clinching the Democratic nomination in June 1972, various anti-McGovern forces tried to get Kennedy to enter the contest at the last minute, but he declined. At the 1972 Democratic National Convention McGovern repeatedly tried to recruit Kennedy as his vice presidential running mate, but was turned down. When McGovern\'s choice of Thomas Eagleton stepped down soon after the convention, McGovern again tried to get Kennedy to take the nod, again without success. McGovern instead chose Kennedy\'s brother-in-law Sargent Shriver.
