Here’s the blurb in wikipedia:

Alleged Nixon quote
Kael has often been quoted as having said, in the wake of Richard Nixon’s landslide victory in the 1972 presidential election that she “couldn’t believe Nixon had won”, since no one she knew had voted for him.[45] The quote is sometimes cited by conservatives (such as Bernard Goldberg, in his book Bias), as an example of cluelessness and insularity among the liberal elite. There are variations as to the exact wording, the speaker (it has variously been attributed to other liberal female writers, including Katharine Graham, Susan Sontag, and Joan Didion),[46][47] and the timing (in addition to Nixon’s victory, it has been claimed to have been uttered after Ronald Reagan’s re-election in 1984.)[48]

The story most likely originated in a December 28, 1972 New York Times article on a lecture Kael gave at the Modern Language Association, in which the newspaper quoted her as saying, “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.”[49]

Thanks -

Well it’s nice to know I wasn’t totally like a liberal accepting and passing along a story.

In the end it doesn’t matter which election, because tomorrow there will be at least one major media shill who spills their candy in the lobby and says “how could this happen? No one voted for Romney”

This should be a really fun evening. And you know, coming from MA, I also don’t know anyone who’s voting for Romney. (Actually that’s untrue - Romney won’t win, but Obama will suffer a humiliating ‘win’ in MA)
