Young ran for president as Ohio 's favorite son in the 1968 U.S. presidential election . In the 1968 Democratic primaries , Young won only his home state of Ohio and fell far behind the two anti-Vietnam War front-runners , Sens. Eugene McCarthy from Minnesota and Robert F. Kennedy from New York . The contest was finally decided at the tumultuous 1968 Democratic National Convention , where Vice President Hubert Humphrey clinched the nomination on the first ballot
