GIB CROCKETT, Washington Star
In this cartoon published after the Republican National Convention in Miami Beach, Florida, President Richard Nixon and Vice-President Spiro Agnew ask a Democratic Party donkey, drunk on the contents of a bottle labeled "Old McGovern," to repent and join their bandwagon. In his acceptance speech, Nixon courted Democrats, telling them to "join a new American majority." Ultimately, Nixon won a landslide victory in 1972.
