Slight Spin-Off Thread: Most Important Presidential Elections?

I've got to go with Lincoln/Breckenridge in 1860. I don't think you can overstate how huge the implications of a Republican winning the White House over a Southern Democrat were.
Others:
Kennedy/Nixon
Johnson/Goldwater

1964 was a turning point election for the nation.

Definitely, but was it bigger than the 1860 election? I can't imagine any election bigger than that one.

Of course 1860 was a pivotal election since it possibly lead to war. I went with 1964 because the reverberations are still felt today.

1980 Reagan/Carter
Not often mentioned because it was a landslide, but... If Carter had won... *shudder*

It was the single most defining event in American history, save for the Revolutionary War and the institution of the Constitution.

Lincoln winning without question. After Kennedy you had Reagan, but every other President could of been replaced with the loser and it wouldn't have mattered much.

1860, no question. Immediately led to secession.

1860.
