Romney actually did something decent: He implemented what was latet called Obamacare, and showed that it worked. But nobody calls it Romneycare.

The Massachusetts Archives (at the time, located in the State House) had an exhibit displaying the actual votes cast by the electors for McGovern in the 1972 election.

Nixon got his revenge on Massachusetts by closing the Naval base in Boston. There's a little of it still left: The USS Constitution is based here.

Three years later, Nixon was out because of Watergate. A group of Republican senators told him that he would be convicted in a Senate trial, so he resigned. Gerald Ford (the VP) made himself very unpopular by issuing a blanket pardon to Nixon.
