In 1972 the Democrats took a sharp left turn, nominating George McGovern, a far-left antiwar senator, to face Richard Nixon, a Republican president who had barely eked out a victory four years earlier.
The result was a GOP landslide; Nixon's 60.7% of the popular vote was the second-best showing of the 20th century, lagging only FDR's 60.8% in 1936.
Who knows, but we'll say this: If we had to place a bet on who'll be the Democratic nominee, and we were getting odds, our money would be on Howard Dean, the fiery former governor of Vermont, who has made opposition to Iraq's liberation a centerpiece of his campaign.
