In my mind, the re-election of Richard Nixon, compared with what was available on the other side, was so much more important that I put it in just that context.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I liked Nixon fine, but Nixon was not a partier.
That was my choice at that time, and I still say Nixon was a great president. A very beautiful and wise man.
And I also thought that Richard Nixon was the greatest political education we have ever had, but it looks like we need to relearn them again.
While he was president, it was popular to be a Nixon hater.
Nixon was always willing to be bipartisan, so there are a lot of surprises in the man.
It was accountability that Nixon feared.
Nixon was a bad loser. He hated losing worse than death, and that is why I enjoyed him. We were both football fans, both addicts; and on some days, nothing else mattered.
Nixon officials foreshadowed both the historic distinction and seamy underside of the presidency.
Indeed, it was largely the clubbiness of the Washington village press corps that let Nixon get away with Watergate and still win his landslide in 1972.
I never believed that Nixon could fully resurrect himself. And the proof of that was in the obits.
