Was Nixon Robbed? - The legend of the stolen 1960 presidential election. By David Greenberg Other famous stolen elections include the 1824 fiasco, in which Andrew Jackson won the popular vote but lost the presidency to John Quincy Adams in the House of Representatives, and the 1876 Hayes-Tilden tie, which was eventually settled by a backroom deal. At a 1960 Christmas party, he was heard greeting guests, "We won but they stole it from us." Nixon nursed the grudge for years, and when he was criticized for his Watergate crimes he would cite the Kennedys' misdeeds as precedent. Three days after the election, party Chairman Sen. Thruston Morton launched bids for recounts and investigations in 11 states—an action that Democratic Sen. Henry Jackson attacked as a "fishing expedition." Eight days later, close Nixon aides, including Bob Finch and Len Hall, sent agents to conduct "field checks" in eight of those states. slate.msn.com /id/91350   (1292 words)

Although Perot squandered even a remote chance of winning the election by dropping out of the presidential contest in July only to reenter in the fall, his presence ensured that economic issues remained at the center of the national debate.

Correspondents Report - 40 year history for US presidential election debates HAMISH ROBERTSON: Ever since that famous televised confrontation between a youthful John F. Kennedy and a slightly shifty-looking Richard Nixon back in 1960, the American Presidential election debates have always attracted a large audience, with an estimated 50 million people viewing the first one of this campaign last week. That goes all the way back to 1960 and the very first televised presidential debate between Kennedy and Nixon, when Nixon started sweating on camera and looked really awful, and so candidates ever since have wanted a cool room in which to debate so that they don't get that sweaty appearance on camera. 40 year history for US presidential election debates www.abc.net.au /correspondents/content/2004/s1211909.htm   (1292 words)

Writing.ws -- Reference -- Technology For example, the Gallup organization has correctly predicted the outcome of every American presidential election since 1936 (including the Truman election of 1948), and has also correctly predicted every Congressional election, for a total of 30 major elections. For example, pollsters conducting voter preference surveys during election campaigns have no way of knowing objectively whether a person being polled is telling the truth. Moreover, those polled about voting preferences prior to elections are under no obligation to actually vote on election day. www.writing.ws /reference/technology.htm   (1292 words)

Resources for Writers: Comparison Writing If your personal experience contrasts with the author's description of how the majority of American families live, that is not sufficient evidence for denying (or, if your experience accords with her findings, validating) the accuracy of the author's description. Let us suppose that you are asked to compare your family and the families of your friends with the new image that the article describes (both parents working, or a single parent working and raising the children). When a comparison and contrast assignment asks you to compare your personal experience with something else, it is important not to fall into the fallacy of using personal experience to evaluate the accuracy of the other. www.users.drew.edu /~sjamieso/Comparison.htm   (1292 words)
