Most forgotten post-WWII presidential election

[Heimdal]

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.

I don’t think it is just because of Watergate.

It is likely because Nixon was considered a political disappointment by the Movement Conservatives.  He didn’t lower any taxes, he continued the Great Society programs of LBJ, presided over bussing and affirmative action programs and failed to “win” in Vietnam.
The only reason for why they stuck by him in 1972 was because they were terrified by the Democrats.

I think the 1956 Election is far more interesting than people give it credit for. In this election you can see that the South is finally starting to slip for the Democrats. The Republican ticket wins Virginia, West Virginia, Florida, Texas and Tennessee. Ike is even able to pick off Louisiana from the Democratic coalition. In this respect the 1956 Election says something about the changing political coalitions.

As for uninteresting elections my main candidates are 2004 and 2012.
