And the Ford/Dole ticket was also a bit of an outlier since it was immediately following the Nixon resignation. I think the Republicans could have had Christ appear and run on the GOP ticket in that election and they still would have lost.
Ford certainly was in a pickle after the Nixon pardon. Looking at the statistics though, I’m shocked it was close as it was but I wasn’t around in ‘76.
