Jonah, keep in mind that Nixon didn’t immediately decide to wait until 1968

to run for president again. In between, he lost the California governor’s

race to Edmund “Pat” Brown in 1962. That produced the famous “You won’t have

Dick Nixon to kick around anymore.” (Ah, if only he knew). That was also his

basic declaration taking him out of the 1964 presidential race, though he

may have made the official declaration a bit later.
