- Midge_Miller abstract "Marjorie \"Midge\" Miller (June 8, 1922 – April 17, 2009) was a Wisconsin Democratic politician.Born in Morgantown, West Virginia, Miller served in the Wisconsin State Assembly from 1971 to 1985.She was an early supporter of the 1968 presidential candidacy of Senator Eugene McCarthy (D-Minnesota), and eventually headed his Wisconsin campaign. It is believed that she was a major influence in convincing an initially reluctant Senator McCarthy to run for president, based in large part on his opposition to the Vietnam War. McCarthy was discounted by the political establishment as an underdog with virtually no chance of success, but Miller proved to be prescient in her belief that the time was right for his candidacy. In January of that year, McCarthy's opposition to the war resonated in a major way with voters in the 1968 New Hampshire presidential primary. Although McCarthy lost, he came in a close second to incumbent President Lyndon Johnson. With Midge Miller's support, McCarthy went on to defeat Johnson in the then-crucial Wisconsin primary the next month. Johnson, sensing in McCarthy's successes the devastating effect of the profundity of Democratic voter's disagreement with his Vietnam policy, made a surprise announcement on March 31, 1968 that he would not seek re-election.This was just one example of the impact upon the national scene by the seven-term Wisconsin legislator, who defeated four well-known males for a state assembly seat long held by a Republican incumbent in 1971. An early leader in the national movement for women's rights, she counted among her admiring colleagues such movement leaders as Gloria Steinem and Bella Abzug. As a young woman who chose to reach out to the Japanese people following the second world war by choosing to live with her family in the nuclear-bomb-produced shadows that remained of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and she was internationally recognized for her lifelong devotion to the interrelated causes of nuclear-non-proliferation and peace. Her \"retirement\" from the legislature in 1985 marked no respite, but only the latest chapter in her activism, when she established the Madison Institute, a think-tank designed to counter the growing influence of the extreme Right Wing in American politics.As Madison, Wisconsin's Capital Times associate editor John Nichols wrote upon her death, \"Midge Miller changed America and the world. She made presidents quake in their boots. She made political parties reflect the will of their members rather than the bosses. She made a place for women in the electoral process -- and in the governing of the land.Then she got busy.\"".
