The one thing I find interesting about the 1956 election was the strong swing to Stevenson in most of the states west of the Mississippi River.

The 1968 and 1972 elections are also boring.

Republicans today talk about nothing but Reagan 24/7. When was the last time you heard one of them say anything about Nixon? They have completely disowned him because he resigned in disgrace.

At the time, yes these were transformative elections, but today they are (mostly) forgotten. The '68 Dem Convention is remembered for various reasons (The riots, the Daley/Ribicoff fight, the Vidal/Buckley fight, etc.) but the actual election results were pretty boring aside from George Wallace.
