Recordings of election night 1980 - Reagan landslide
Myself | Myself

Posted on 03/30/2006 1:03:45 PM PST by Happy Life

Hello fellow freepers! I`m a norwegian freeper living in Norway. I have been a member of free republic since the summer of 2000. I`m a HUGE admire of your late president- Ronald Reagan. I Have one BIG Q for you - is there anybody out there that have original live recordings of the election night in 1980? I was 14 years old when Reagan was elected. Almost everybody in Norway wanted Carter re-elected, but I was hoping for the Gipper. I was sitting up all night listning to norwegian radio and was very youfull when it became clear that Ronald Reagan had won! It would have been so great to see original live recordings from that night. So my dear fellow freepers - does any of you have knowledge of where I can get a copy of this historic night?

Great links, but none of them (as far as I can see) offer recordings of the election night

Might find what you're looking for here: Ronald Reagan Presidential Library website administered by the National Archives and Records Administration.

I didn't go thru the website. I think Reagan Man probably has the best link for that. Good luck! :-)

I would love to see TV stills of the state by state map that used have Republicans as blue.

The old method was incumbant blue - challenger red...

But of course the MSM has decided that the Color Red was a little too close to the communist flag, and thus, has forever since Bush 1 been painting themselves blue...

I have a recording of his farewell address from the oval office which I find very moving. It's in Real Audio format. I've uploaded it here:
