121. For some of them, it's still about 1972.
Edited on Wed Dec-03-08 06:10 PM by Ken Burch
They still pretend our defeat that year was all the liberal wing's fault, when it was obvious that, after the China trip and with the Dirty Tricks squad, Nixon would have carried 49 states or close to 49 against anyone we could have nominated, including Scoop Jackson (whose election would have been pointless since he agreed with Nixon on everything.)

When they discuss that year, the anti-liberal wing of the party sound like the bad guys that get unmasked at the end of each episode of "SCOOBY DOO":

"...and we'd have done it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"
