ROFL!!

The first presidential election I have recollection of is the 1976 election.

I was 8 and didn’t understand a whole lot of it but I knew some friendly looking guy lost and some funny looking guy with big teeth won.

I wonder what the oldest age is of someone currently alive who lost a presidential election.

I wonder about weird things :)

All I knew then was Ford fouled up and said that the Soviets didn’t dominate Poland. That was enough for me to want Carter to win. But I was young, what did I know?

Bob Dole is 96.
He ran as Ford’s VP mate in 1976.
