This did not endear Hubert to the Senate's senior citizens. Neither did his performance the next year, when he denounced the conservative, economy-minded ideas of Virginia's Democratic Senator Harry Byrd. In response, a score of Senators, both Democratic and Republican, stood up and, without even mentioning Humphrey's name, delivered themselves of glowing tributes to Byrd. When Hubert tried to rebut, the entire Senate walked out on him in as crushing a rebuke as any Senator has ever suffered. Later, Humphrey met Byrd by chance in a Senate elevator and remarked ruefully...
...other hand, the MFDP delegation is seated in Atlantic City, it will be a slap at the majority of Democrats in the Magnolia State and throughout the South. Johnson knows that his political support below the Mason-Dixon line is tottering.

The fact that the United States with seven per cent of the world's population produces 50 per cent of the world's goods does not necessarily endear Uncle Sam to his Latin neighbors. When a Latin turns on his television set he watches Gunsmoke or The Untouchables; when he steps on to the street he sees cars from Detroit; when he goes to the neighborhood store he is confronted with Fab and Spry. But it is wrong and dangerously...
...attempt to appeal to traditional Republican strongholds such as the Middle West and to make inroads in the normally Democratic south. But the two most consistent aspects of his appeal, his strong internationalism and his liberal stand on civil rights, undercut this argument. The former hardly seems calculated to endear him to Middle Western isolationists, and the latter is certainly not the best method of attracting Southern support...
