Many folks forget that in 1980 there was a third party candidate on the ballot.John Anderson split the pinko vote in half making it easier for the Tipper to win.We have no such situation this time and I think Obozo will beat Mittins without breaking a sweat.
John Anderson was a Republican who ran Independent after losing to Reagan in the primaries.
He only got 6% of the vote, and a majority of his support came from people who wouldn't vote for Carter, but liked a more liberal alternative than Reagan.
He didn't move a single electoral vote from one-side of the ledger to the other.

And you obviously forgot that Anderson ran in the primaries as a Republican before running as an Independent, making the Rep-Dem vote count split even bigger than just Reagan.
And that was Gipper not Tipper . . .
