Bobby Kennedy and the War on Vietnam

In early 1967, Bobby Kennedy made what would be a last appeal to Lyndon Johnson. He was in Paris for peace talks and had learned from the North Vietnamese delegation that there was an opening for negotiations if Johnson ended his bombing of the North. Now that Bobby had ended his equivocations on Vietnam, he was positioned to be the anti-war leader at the moment America itself was turning on the war. So one might think here that RFK is in a prime position to challenge LBJ as the Peace candidate in 1968. But Bobby was a bit like Hamlet. He starts calling his friends like other columnists like, Hey, should I run? What do you think?"
