President [[Richard Nixon]] was still trying to end the War in Vietnam, when he came up for reelection.  He was almost unanimously nominated by the [[Republican]] party as the candidate to run for the highest office in the land.  The Democrats nominated [[George McGovern]] as their candidate.  The campaign was rough and although Nixon had a comfortable lead, during the campaign the Democratic headquarters of Watergate were broken into.  However it was small at the time compared to the destruction being done on Republican headquarters in Texas, Ohio, Minnesota, Arizona and California.  The voters chose Nixon over McGovern in the election.  <ref> [[Encyclopedia of Presidents, Richard Nixon]], by Dee Lillegard, Children's Press, 1987, pp. 77-78.  </ref>
