I think it was a guy named Dick Tuck who was the original political prankster who bedeviled Nixon in his 1960 campaign. It was what prompted Nixon to pursue dirty tricks during his 1972 campaign.

I remember Dick Tuck too. During his 1968 campaign, Nixon used the slogan "Nixon's the One!" However, thanks to Dick Tuck it kind of backfired on him when Tuck arranged for a number of pregnant women to parade around in front of the 'pubbies convention carrying signs with that particular slogan on them.
