1962 Richard Nixon for California Governor Pin on Special Guest Rally Ribbon

Description: Love him or hate him, Richard Nixon was a major player on this country's political stage from when he entered Congress in 1946 until he resigned the presidency in August of 1974. Problem was, many on the left simply loved to hate him. Tricky Dick actually did himself in over the Watergate mess while he ran for re-election in 1972 and the year-and-a-half after he was sworn in again. After two term, U.S. Vice President Richard Nixon's 1960 presidential loss to his democrat opponent, John F. Kennedy in one of the closest elections in U.S. history, he took wife Pat and their two daughters back to California to live. Then some folks prompted him to run for that state's governorship in 1962. But daggone, if he didn't lose that election, too. That's when he said at the concession speech presser, that the media would be sad because "they won't have Nixon to kick around anymore," or words to that affect. Little did anyone foresee that he would resurface from political oblivion in 1968 to win two terms as president. This is a 7/8" lithographed button from that 1962 race on a 2" x 6.5" fabric ribbon and is in OK condition. But please look at our images to judge condition for yourself so you can be happy with your purchase since although the pin is better, the ribbon does have an obvious stain. S & H on this will be $5.50 sent well-protected first class with tracking. We are members of APIC and sell only authentic presidential (and other collectible) material so buy with confidence, and we'll be happy to combine S & H costs on multiple purchases even though eBay says we won't. We do so by issuing a refund for any overpayment. 7686
