Nixon Campaign Tapestries

In hindsight, the magnitude of Richard Nixon's reelection victory in 1972—the largest Republican landslide of the Cold War—leads some to ask why the President ever got involved in the Watergate cover-up. Nixon won 49 out of 50 states, taking all but Massachusetts. He established an early lead over the Democratic nominee, Senator George McGovern of South Dakota, and never lost it. For Nixon, it was the best year of his political life. His diplomatic opening to China reached fruition with a widely televised trip to Beijing. Détente bore fruit with the signing of the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty and a summit in Moscow. And Nixon's decision to bomb North Vietnam and mine Haiphong Harbor to stop a Communist offensive proved highly popular.

Humphrey and Muskie 1968 Presidential Campaign Button

Why not wear the mug of our disgraced 37th President of the United Snakes of America on your chest? His middle name, "Milhous," stands for all that is awkward, untimely, unfortunate, and misbegotten. As an enemy to Hippies everywhere he was a perfect square and scapegoat. As a traitor and cheat he stands proudly with other reprobates in the Hall of Awful Presidents. There's always room for one more! We chose RED for the preview. Rabid anti-commie Nix would have LOVED that.

̶N̶i̶x̶o̶n̶ Negan For President

I'd make a joke like "Yeah, no shit, cause he didn't show up to the voting booth either," but...ya know. Whether or not this door hanger made the difference in that election, it definitely made it's way into the Halloween Shindig Vault. So you too can own this strange piece of Presidential ephemera, now available on like mugs ans t-shirts and shit.

Prostitutes Vote For Nixon or Kennedy

Richard Nixon's presidential election win in 1968 had climaxed a career that included both his early success and his comeback after being defeated both for President in 1960 and for Governor of California in 1962. He was reelected in 1972, but would soon become embroiled in the infamous Watergate scandal, that would lead to his resignation just two years later. Fast-forward to 1988, and a small camp that was unhappy with the Republican candidates running for president began floating the idea of Nixon throwing his hat into the ring using a "he's tan, rested, and ready" slogan. At 75 years of age, Nixon played his cards close to his vest, but ultimately didn't bite. This left the path clear for incumbent Vice President George H. W. Bush.

BEAT NIXON IN '72

No one thought Republican Richard M. Nixon would run for office again. In 1960, Nixon lost to John F. Kennedy, and just two years later, Nixon lost to Edmund Brown in his bid to be governor of California. It looked like Nixon would be out of politics for good, but in 1968, Richard Nixon won the presidency in a hard-fought campaign, and would be reelected by a landslide four years later. Nixon's victory in 1968 was one of the most improbable comebacks in American political history, and Nixon made it happen by working three times harder than any other candidate, proving that Nixon really was 'the one.'
