By 1968, Nixon had become more socially conservative what with his anti-hippie "silent majority".  Eight years earlier, Nixon was more socially moderate/liberal, had about the same domestic agenda (moderate) and foreign policy (pragmatist).  Interestingly, Kennedy ran to the "right" of Nixon on foreign policy in 1960.
