Cronkite does his best to provide Hubert Humphrey's wins to seem like a bigger win or "....they anticipated they would pick up that state; however, they didn't realize he was going to win that big." Everything for Nixon is "what was anticipated." There is also A LOT of "Humphrey is doing better than John Kennedy did in 1960." There is also a lot of, "Nixon is not doing quite as well as he did against John Kennedy." I also notice that when Hubert Humphrey wins a state; Cronkite is walking on water... voice is louder and it's all party like it's 1999! A Nixon win is more a subdued tone with something being said about Humphrey doing better than John Kennedy did in 1960! This coverage is more partisan than today's cable news networks: Fox News, MSNBC. That's saying a lot!

George Washington is campaigning for the Oklahoma Senate? He's alive?! I guess he came back from the dead and moved to Oklahoma! Lol!

That's...a lie. Nixon was ahead in the polls for most of 1968 and HHH almost made a huge comeback.
@@rgreenberg35 Nixon would have had a larger lead the whole time, and a bigger win without Wallace in the race.
"Vote" Toothpaste, The dragon killer. 🤔Man, They REALLY DID have better drugs in the '60s! 😜

Color coverage? Even 45 years later, that's false.
Yes, I know it was originally in color. I just find that statement funny!
