1960 is a seriously underrated pick IMO -- marked a departure from Eisenhower's nonideological tendencies/rhetoric and the ideological conformity during WWII and the 1950s, foreshadowed some of the geographic trends of 1968 and a lot of the shifts during the 1980s (and beyond in some cases), and Nixon's campaign message paved the way for appeals to culturally traditionalist/conservative voters more than people give him credit for.
Nixon arguably ran a stronger race in 1960 than in 1968 as well.
