In that "Incredible Year" of 1968, Richard M. Nixon was nominated for president on the first ballot at the Republican National Convention in Miami Beach, August 8th.
His running mate, chosen to the dismay of Nixon supporters, was Maryland Governor Spiro Agnew. Agnew won a landslide victory of 1,128 delegate votes to 186 for his opponent, Governor George Romney.
The Nixon-Agnew ticket won in November by only 500,000 popular votes, but it was a remarkable political comeback for the former Eisenhower administration vice president. Nixon not only lost a presdiential bid to Kennedy in 1960, but was also defeated for Governor of California in 1962 by Edmund G. Brown.
