I would say Nixon for the 70's, even though no one's said that. The pragmatic backlash against 60's idealism and the paranoia are both due to him.

Most definitive to least:

1. Reagan in the 80's
2. Bush 43 in the 2000's
3. Nixon in the '70s (if only for Watergate)
4. Clinton in the '90s

People are treating definitive as if that has to be a positive thing. Watergate is why Nixon is definitive and is probably the no. 1 definitive political event of the 70's.
