The 1960 election kind of reminds me of the elections the Whig Party was in. Most of the south would be dem but Kentucky and Tennessee would be Whig. Nixon actually did better in Tennessee than Ike did the previous two times. He did slightly worse in Kentucky than Ike in 1956 but did better than his result there in 1952. Both states had gone Republican a few times since Reconstruction but they both had mostly gone democrat up to 1960. So why did these two states go for Nixon but the rest of the south for the most part went for Kennedy.

Fillmore did not have a formal education and did not go to college so he thought he didn’t deserve that degree(he probably didn’t). Another President who declined an honorary degree was Cleveland from Harvard.

It was his home state and he didn’t even come second.

Another example of Hanna's marketing genius.

For me it’s that Lincoln was born outside the 13 colonies. It’s always there whenever I see some Presidential trivia thing or a YouTube video about Lincoln.

“The Comeback”, The Texans being 24 up just to lose 51-31, Chiefs choking a 21-3 lead at home in the AFC Championship game, The Patriots choking a 21-3 lead in the AFC Championship game, Colts coming back from 38-10 down to beat the Chiefs 45-44.
