Lets see. Nixon went with out the recount and won the White House four years later.

It was 8 years later, not 4. Nixon lost to Kennedy in '60; then beat Humphrey in '68. In between he narrowly lost the Californina governer's race ('62?) to Edmund Brown (Jerry's Dad). He followed the California loss with that famous statement about "not having Richard Nixon to kick around anymore." Fact is, Nixon's political career appeared to many observers to be over by '62.

I stand corrected on the timing but my point is still valid.
