Was in college in New Mexico. First time that I voted for President and I voted for Ford. Have voted for a Republican Prez. ever since. That year New Mexico voted out Dem Joe Montoya (a total idiot) for U.S. Senator and voted in GOP Harrison "Jack" Schmidt. We all said that the nation lost when Carter won, but at least New Mexico won when Montoya lost. Unfortunately, Schmidt lost his re-election bid in 1982. Worthless Jeff Bingaman holds that seat now.
The first half of 1976, I was in my mother's womb.
The second half, I spent most of my time drinking formula and crying.
