Ken Burns & Lynn Novick's Documentary of the Viet Nam War

For all that, the '76 election was hardly a blow-out win for the Democrats. In fact, if you look at the map and how it played out in terms of electoral votes, the results are downright weird, given today's conventional wisdom about which states reliably break Republican or Democrat.
