Even Richard Nixon, as damaged as he was at the height of the dissent in the last year of the Viet-Nam era, garnered 60.6% of the popular vote, against McGovern's 37.5%! (To put it in perspective, the difference between Nixon and Humphrey in 1968 was under 1% of the PV.) But that, then is the pattern of this administration...no need to give any evidence or proof of their assertions. Just saying them apparently makes them true in Bush-world.
