He probably won the election in 1960, but votes were stolen in Illinois. The documentary doesn't mention that -- it says he lost because of his performance in the televised debate.

 I thought we didn't have Nixon to kick around anymore... used to think he was the Worst back-in-the-day but recently he doesn't look too bad

 It was the 'original October Surprise' when he went around Johnson and talked w/ the N. Viet Cong - to prevent a cease fire/cessation that cooked his goose for me-

But Johnson did not prosecute-

the whole thing is bankrupt....
Happy Listening

 Ken Burns' documentary on Vietnam showed a phone call that LBJ took from Nixon, assuring him that he didn't do a thing to interfere in negotiations with North Vietnam. Nixon was lying through his crooked teeth and Johnson knew it. But LBJ just said something like,"Well, I am happy to hear that, Dick, because there have been some serious accusations going around."

So true.

I was 23 when Tricky Dick waved goodbye from the helicopter door.
