All this did not cause the Nixon people to question themselves or what they had been doing: it only made them bitter. And, from their point of view, they had a right to be. They had been technically perfect. Had accomplished everything they had set out to accomplish, from Hillsboro, New Hampshire, on up. Their efficiency had been marveled at by every observer. They were the most competent campaign organization in the history of the Republican party; perhaps the nation. They had created a climate in which Richard Nixon had been given full opportunity to expand. Simple justice demanded now that they be rewarded with what they sought—the Presidency.

This was no time for unnamed, unseen forces, antagonisms, yearnings which did not show up on radar, which could not be factored into their binary equations, to soil the record. No wonder they were bitter as well as scared. The American people had been presented with the supercandidate, the supercampaign, yet—even faced with the sweaty, babbling alternative of Humphrey—they showed signs of discontent.
