    Nixon's fall from grace is amazing. If you consider his margin of victory in the 1972 election to the point of having to resign from office less than 2 years later, there aren't meany people who turned public opinion against them so quickly and drastically. It was remarkable to watch it happen.

      I wasn't around yet for all that, but damn was that a brutal descent. No wonder everyone uses the "-gate" suffix now.

        Wasn't around either, but I loved the story nonetheless. It shows public opinion can be volatile and hard to recover.
