Nice way to turn that one on it's ear. I've encountered two posters to FR, who are using the Nixon precedent as reason to "let it slide." If Nixon had done the hard, but right thing back in 1960, imagine how differently the decade of the 60's might have turned out. Would we even be dealing with massive vote fraud perpetrated by the likes of ACORN, if he had contested then?
Furthermore, Nixon has always been tagged by the lefties as the perpetrator of the Viet Nam war; I wonder what percentage of lefties under 50 would know that John F. Kennedy started that war and Lyndon Johnson escalated it. Nixon was trying to extract us from that war as victors not losers; our courageous Congress stopped the funding and we lost for that reason. Obama would want the same result in Iraq.
