My college classmates and I went up to NH to campaign for him prior to the Dem primary. IIRC, he got 37% of the vote, establishing him as a legit candidate. And the rest is history (including his VP choice, Thomas Eagleton, stepping aside when it was revealed that he had hidden his "shameful" past about being treated for depression; the campaign never regained its momentum).
A nice bit of irony: my current Congressman is Jim McGovern (D-MA), and he lives up to his last name (no relation).
