1968 Election

I would have picked Humphrey, since at the time I wouldn't have known about Nixon signing the Clean Air Act (since obviously he wouldn't have been president yet to do so). I would have to go with the party that signed the Civil Rights Act. The Vietnam war would be a wash, since i think both candidates were denoucing it to some degree.

I would have voted for Nixon.

And to set the record straight on civil rights, a higher percentage of Republicans in Congress voted for the Civil Rights laws than Democrats.

The Republicans tried to pass stronger civil rights laws under Eisenhower in the 1950s, but the Democrats in Congress stripped them of any real meaning.

I know that more republicans voted for the civil rights act. You are not 'setting the record straight', try not to sound so high and mighty. And I said the party who SIGNED the civil rights act.

I like Nixon as a president due to his first term achievements. However, before he had a first term there would be no way for me to know that he would have been such a good incumbent.

And that Agnew guy would have creeped me out.
