Poll question: Worst President Final Four Semi-Final #2
And the second pairing:

In this corner:

Richard M. Nixon, 37th President, 1969-74

- Watergate
- bombing of Cambodia
- Need I say more?



And in this corner:

George H.W. Bush, 41st President, 1989-93

- mismanaged the economy
- lacked the "vision thing"
- sperm donor of Rosemary's baby

1. Poppy gets the vote here
..because he was involved in whatever Nixon did anyway.

2. Yes, but I'm talking about their Presidencies.
For Nixon's troubles, you really can't blame anyone but Nixon.

3. Nixon for three -- and it's good! Uh, I mean, it's bad!
It's very, very bad!

On to the Finals - but I think Tricky Dick will be a double-digit underdog...

5. Tough choice
...but Nixon gets the edge for his innovation of giving racists a voice and a political home in the republican party. Obviously they still feel quite comfortable there.
