I Do Not Usually Pray But I Pray That ----

R$R do something so outrageous it even has their nuttiest supporters running away. And it is bad enough that it takes enough of the GOP down to give the Dems back control of the government. We need a repeat of 1972 after Nixon resigned.

3. Nixon resigned in 1974

He won the 1972 election by a landslide, even with the Watergate scandal looming in the background.

5. As I remember it few of the people knew about Watergate yet. In 1972 we had a policy book in our

campaign offices that outlined McGovern's policies on almost everything. The one page that talked about Watergate was the last page in the book. I wish I still had that book as a memories of our candidate.

6. Bits and pieces were coming out about the incident

shortly after the June 19 break-in. By August, Nixon was commenting on it. I think that at that time, most people still could not believe that a President could be involved in what Nixon himself called "a very bizarre incident". And on October 10, just a few weeks before the election, "the FBI reported the Watergate break-in was only part of a massive campaign of political spying and sabotage on behalf of the Nixon re-election committee." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate_scandal
