I voted for him in 72, (my first year for Presidential elections) but considering the alternative that year, I really had no real choice.
He didn't do a bad job, not a great job either, and all of his 'crimes' were standard operating procedure under Kennedy and Johnson. The DC establishment just wasn't going to allow a Republican to do that same stuff that they turned a blind eye to before.
The best Nixon book I ever read (and a page-turning great book anyway) was 'Silent Coup' by Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin. If you like to read, I highly recommend that book. It drops you right back into the early '70s. For an aging political junkie like me, it read like a thriller novel.
