An interesting historical note.

As I stated in my last post, my county voted for Bush/Cheney in 2004. The last time a Republican Presidential candidate won here was the 1972 election, when the county also went for the incumbent.

The ticket they helped put back in office was Richard M. Nixon and Spiro T. Agnew.

Agnew resigned Oct. 10, 1973 and Nixon resigned August 9, 1974.

Hmmm.     J. Dennis Hastert is currently the Speaker of the House...
