I personally think so, and I lean towards Reagan being the one to beat Humphrey. With that said, so long as the Democrats don't nominate McGovern or Ted Kennedy in 1976, I could see the Democrats winning the White House back after four years if the economy of 1973-75 still sucks.I wonder... Would Ronald Reagan or Nelson Rockefeller get elected in 1972 as a result of Democratic fatigue? I couldn't see Hubert Humphrey (the most likely Democratic nominee in 1972) winning the election.
