The party lines were so odd back then -- I don't know if you remember Bill Green, the Republican Representative from NYC, but he was way further to the left than probably at least half the Dems back then.

I kind of remember the name. NYC Mayor Lindsay was pretty far left too. In New York those guys were called Rockefeller Republicans.

Oh yeah, Lindsay was a bit before me, but I remember reading about him. And yeah, I remember Rockefeller Republicans. Pretty sure it's been a long time since that term could be applied to anyone.
