I actually think Nixon was a pretty good president. He was just a bad human being.
His accomplishments on policy were fairly monumental.
Take away Watergate, and you've got a guy that would be in the running for the top 10 easily. The problem is you can't just ignore Watergate and the mess it left the USA. It royally screwed up the balance of power in this country.
Top 10?? I think that is quite the stretch.. but I would agree he would not be as vilified as he is now
