Least interesting U.S. Presidential elections

1956 I would think. I was -28 years old then, so I don't remember it, but the general public seemed to have a consensus in their approval of Eisenhower. People just liked Ike. Not only that but this was the peak of the "American Dream" period and the united states was probably the least divided during this period.

The only thing interesting about that election is the surprisingly high % of counties that voted for Adlai Stevenson and also voted for John McCain.

in fact of the 900 counties Adlai Stevenson won in 1956... only 209 of those counties voted for Obama! Its surprising that a county that would vote for a democrat who lost that badly, would then vote for a republican who lost by 7 points. Its almost like the Stevenson McCain counties are Anti-Bellwether.
