You won't have me to kick around any more. Happy?

I really try to work that tidbit into as many conversations as I can. Thanks for giving me an opportunity, Spiro and Dick.![]()

shitsource said:so you could narrowly defeat Hubert Humphrey with your "peace" plan? Won't you miss WriterDom, MarkovCain and your other pals here? Don't you find Todd a little weird for a Canadian?
Nixon won by fewer than a million votes in a very close election. I regard Clinton's win over Bush as reasonably close, though the state count was wide. You should at least know that the state counts are misleading. Reagan didn't win 98% of the vote in '84. That's the joke about the "red" states - they're mostly fucking empty!WriterDom said:narrowly? Humphrey carried how many states in 68? 10? 11? I think you did too many drugs in the 50s

shadowsource said:like a fucking idiot. Close is close. As a Mets fan, I can distinguish between the claim that the Mets nearly tied the Yankees in runs in last year's World Series from the fact that the bastards whupped our asses day in and day out, though the scores were close. But any election in which a small number of votes (soccer Moms with hangovers) could have turned 10 states over is a very close election. Are you incapable of reasoning?
I guess you're right. The fact that Nixon beat Humphrey by only 7/10ths of 1%, or 510,000 votes, is immaterial. And Nixon got swamped in 1960 (.17% of the vote) because JFK took 303 electoral votes to Nixon's 219. Wow, Republican stats are so much fun!WriterDom said:Nixon won 301 to 191. The popular vote doesn't count for shit.
shadowsource said:But it's probably pointless to argue about details with you, isn't it? Say it ain't so.
I can't argue with any of that, though it's often said that the GOP in Southern Illinois stole so many votes that Daley's machine pull was canceled out. That's said to be why no recount was demanded there.WriterDom said:
I'm not sure about the southern thing in 64. It would have been interesting without G. W. in the race.
But I do see the light now, Supersource. A few more votes for Nixon in Missouri, Illinois, and New Jersey and he would have won in 60. And Illinois was probably stolen.
