How did George McGovern manage to get beaten so soundly by, of all people, Richard Nixon in 1972?

I've heard people say 1972 was the only time they ever voted Republican.

What made Nixon so great?

The difference is that Kerry is probably going to win.

He was one of the most vile racists (next to Al Gore Sr.) during the 1960s.

I'd hate to be the one to break this to you, but Al Gore Sr. supported civil rights when few other senators did.

At the same time, Strom Thurmond opposed civil rights.
