29. I think it was ultimately the Iranian hostages that did it...

In that year, the right-ward groundswell was more nationalist-based than ideological.

People (for whatever damn reason) saw Reagan as 'bringing America back'...

I remember good labor Democrats using the phrase 'hold my nose and vote for Reagan'... Those were the people who became the 'Reagan Democrats'... :(
