"McGovern rode it down to flames."

Afew days before the election, McGovern called Nixon "A monster and a barbarian"

In 1972, only six students at my high school in a graduating class of 799 admitted that they voted for Nixon.

I didn't vote for Nixon. He's just not my kind of guy. Among other things he instigated wage and price controls. He also embarrassed the Republican party for decades. There are still people who are ashamed to call themselves Republicans because of Nixon.

That said, he was more honest than clinton, better at managing the economy than carter, and just plain more fun than gore.
