That is the part that always amazed me. The man's administration was fully involved in Watergate. In fact the Nixon inaugeral parade passed by and was watched by jurors who were deliberating the case against Liddy, McCord, etc. Pentagon papers had already demosntrated that we were the enemy in VietNam. Nixon had clearly lied about his secret plan to end the war. The massive deficient spending from VietNam was driging the economy into the toilet with inflation rates never before seen in America. Gold prices were climbing - as happens when government spends itself into a massive hole.

And yet 49 out of 50 states voted for Nixon. Go figure.

See, I told you people weren't paying attention. They had other things to worry about that were less abstract.
