Nixon wins the 1968 Presidential Election - Part 10 of 28

What a fantastic president.

The 1968 election was very close & Humphrey could easily have won. How painful it would have been for Nixon to lose a second close presidential election (he's the only President of my lifetime to have run, and lost, before eventually winning). As far as Nixon "bringing Americans together," well he failed - just as George W. Bush & Barack Obama failed to unite Americans after proclaiming they'd do so during their campaigns. It's not easy & Nixon squandered unbelievable political clout from '72.
