The American people recognized McGovern as a fool and rejected him by a massive margin. McGovern won 17 electoral votes. Nixon 520.

What's the matter - don't you like democracy?

Nixon beat McGovern by 520 to 17 in the electoral college, with McGovern only getting MA and DC. He won the popular vote by 23.2% (fourth biggest difference ever), and by almost 18 million votes (largest margin in history). You don't get margins like that because most people see him as too decent. The margins where that big because most people saw McGovern as a left wing extremist.
