Have you a link for that utter piece of excrement or just forgetting which way a toilet works.

Reagan in 1980 was the best thing to happen in this nation since its founding. Leave it to the left to ruin it.

These people that you claim never voted for Reagan happened to vote for whom?

Not off hand, I simply recall hearing that some New York leftist said it.

Fine, I'll exercise my Google-fu skills. Checking, checking...

Pauline Kael, film critic for the New Yorker. Kael has often been quoted as having said, in the wake of Richard Nixon's landslide victory in the 1972 presidential election, that she "couldn't believe Nixon had won", since no one she knew had voted for him. There are variations as to the exact wording, the speaker (it has variously been attributed to other liberal female writers, including Katharine Graham, Susan Sontag, and Joan Didion) and the timing (in addition to Nixon's victory, it has been claimed to have been uttered after Ronald Reagan's re-election in 1984).

Huh. Learn something new every day. Well, I won't mus-attribute it to her in the future.

In 1980, 35.4 million of them voted for Jimmy Carter, and 5.7 million of them voted for John Anderson.
