Does anyone remember the polls showing Carter ahead of Reagan a few Weeks before the election? Sure hope it is the same in this election. Also wish it was someone besides Romney.

I remember the day before the 1980 election, the media was saying the race was “too close to call.”

I lived in California at the time, and the networks called the race for Reagan in the afternoon Pacific time, before I even got a chance to go and cast my vote. I showed up at the polls with a big smile on my face. One of the women running the polling place was pissed at the networks for calling the race before the polls closed. Carter conceded early.

It was Reagan 489 Electoral College votes, 49 for Carter.

I almost did cartwheels in the street.

I heard this same argument before the McCain-Obama election.
