It reminds one of the famous quip by New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael following Richard Nixon’s landslide 1972 victory: “I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon.”
I remember. My parents never thought too highly of Nixon, going back to when he was Ike's VP. But they also knew what a disaster a McGovern admistration would've been.

Accordingly, Nixon floated the currency, gave us the EPA, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act.

Of course, McGovern would have abandoned Vietnam to the communists...

The irony of it.

Agreed. To this day, I am forever grateful that my vote for George McGovern as a nineteen year old skull full of mush, didn't amount to anything.
