I remember Nixon and his transgressions pale in comparison to todays politicians. He would be considered a liberal by todays standards and as I've said before other elections have been just as complex as todays. In the end and alone in a voting booth people will vote what they will and that is one of the biggest fears of the Democrats. Let the super delegates decide not the voters themselves.
For his running mate, he chose governor of Maryland Spiro T. Agnew. His Democratic opponent, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, was weakened by internal divisions within his own party, stemming in part from the growing dissatisfaction with the Johnson administration’s handling of the Vietnam War. Alabama governor George C. Wallace—running on a third party ticket—further complicated the election. Although Nixon and Humphrey each gained about 43 percent of the popular vote, the distribution of Nixon’s nearly 32 million votes gave him a clear majority in the electoral college.
