One oddity of Politics over the last 56 years - my lifetime +1 - is that the Republicans have never won an election that did not have a Bush or Nixon on the ticket.

Nixon - 52,56,68,72

Bush - 80,84,88,00,04

Two other election losses - 60 and 92 included a Nixon or Bush as well.

So 11/14 elections in my lifetime follow this pattern. Weird....

This maybe not so odd coincidence will end this year as the nation takes a 21st century direction that has had its share of McCarthyism like that which started Nixon's career.
