Gotta say I voted for TR too. although Carter in 80 was real close. I think the reason people hate Nixon is because of Watergate. If you look at the record, he really was a pretty good president (EPA, China, ending Vietnam etc). On a personal note, you should have included Gore V. Bush, after all that is an election that came down to like 150 votes and still happened in the 20th century. You gotta love Gore in the office and not Bush cause Bush was well a dry drunk, who put into such a lousy position both economically and politically that we are going to spend the better part of my life time fixing it.
