LH,

I don't think that LBJ's accomplishments can be dismissed that easily... Yes, the Civil Rights Act's time had come... But the dometic agenda (Great Society) wasn't a shoe in and wasn't like an egg waiting to hatch and LBJ had to work evry hard and call in alot of "markers" with his old buddies in Congress to get them thru...

For that, he does get credit...
