0104 - Knife Fight In Tuxedos Raise The Dead

    • History

It’s the 1960 Democratic Convention in Los Angeles. Can the Kennedys pull of the impossible and upset the entire party power structure? What about two-time nominee Adlai Stevenson who just arrived flanked by Kennedy foes Eleanor Roosevelt and Hubert Humphrey? What about the Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Baines Johnson who is certainly the only Democrat the Civil Rights-phobic South would be happy with?
What does the first convention of the primary era tell us about egos, attacks and the decisions that change a candidate’s life forever?
A Game of Thrones-level intrigue abounds on this episode of Raise the Dead.
