LBJ was responsible for the escalation of the Vietnam War, transforming it from an ill-conceived venture into a major foreign policy, and a full scale war. It was largely due to his conviction in the 'Domino Theory' that perpetuated that meat-grinder that his support was so low before the 1968 election. I will give him that his support for civil rights was probably part of it as well.

At any rate, it's not my sticker. :)
