Gracious. H2O Man Sep 2012 #36

You're assuming that Nixon didn't pull any dirty tricks to carry California Hippo_Tron Sep 2012 #33

You are silly. H2O Man Sep 2012 #37

What BS former9thward Sep 2012 #39

Well, sport, H2O Man Sep 2012 #40

You forgot the Watergate break in in 1972. 1984 was pretty clean of dirty tricks. craigmatic Sep 2012 #3

Reagan made Stupid acceptable. GeorgeGist Sep 2012 #10

I don't believe Watergate affected the election starroute Sep 2012 #15

True the break in wasn't neccessary for Nixon to win but it was still a dirty trick. craigmatic Sep 2012 #17

Nixon was pulling all sorts of bizarre crap at once starroute Sep 2012 #20

I'd argue that they did get away with it just not the way they had hoped. craigmatic Sep 2012 #23
