Hmmm... Your memory seems a little hindsighted to me.
It certainly wasn’t what the media was saying.
Then again, many people are predicting a smashing win for Romney Tuesday.
Perhaps in later years you’ll say you were one of them....
Of course it’s hindsighted. At the time the media was trying to paint Reagan as a war-monger who in the end would be unacceptable to the American people. Just because the media was trying to paint that picture doesn’t mean anyone was buying it. What is left out is how disillusioned the Democrats were with Carter. That is why I brought up the Kennedy challenge and Andersons appeal to the left.
