yeah, but even before watergate, Nixon was heading for a sound victory--which puzzles me as to why he authorized the break-in.

Then again. Nixon, especially compared to other more modern republican presidents was fairly liberal/centrist. You can't knock the guy for everything, somethings yes...others no.

Plus McGovern got painted as a farout lefty-regardless if he was or not.

Its not surprising Nixon won in the fashion he did.

McGovern = Kerry. Watch and see.

Rising Prices, Unpopular war, Negative media against a incumbent. hmm.

Nixon didn't win a disputed election in 1968.

Another thing...he was closer to the center in 1972 than Bush is now.
