19. Nixon's revenge was '72
He had it wrapped up and just kept pushing, so there was no chance that it would be close enough to be stolen. Overcompensating to the point of criminal action. Nixon probably felt somewhat like us on election day '68 and '72. Thought he had it won if all went legitimate, but could not trust anything about the votes anymore. Him after '60, us 40 years later.

I heard Novak, Buchanan and others after this election downplaying irregularities by saying 'Dems fixed the 1960 election and we didn't beef, so just shut up and take it like a man.'

I wish we had pushed 2004 outside the range of being stolen.

You're right, this whole thing really is an odd similarity.
