Who made that great quote that they didn’t know anyone who voted for Reagan so they couldn’t figure out how he won?

The media bubble is a black hole. Truth cannot escape.

It was actually about Nixon: "I can’t believe Nixon won. I don’t know anyone who voted for him." -- Pauline Kael

What she actually said was: "I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don’t know. They’re outside my ken. But sometimes when I’m in a theater I can feel them."

It's not so bad if that's the actual quote -- though the bit about "feeling" them in theaters is pretty creepy. She wasn't that bad a movie critic, though.
