Rutledge began his political life as a Republican, back in the days of [[Dwight Eisenhower|Eisenhower]] and [[Barry Goldwater|Goldwater]]. He even became an officer in the Teen Age Republican Club at his high school. The first schism came when Bennett ran for delegate to the Republican Convention on an [[Richard Nixon|anti-Nixon]] platform, primarily because he had not ended the Draft as promised. Bennett received 26 votes. | |||
