Things are GREAT now! At least compared with being on the Goldwater end of the Goldwater/Johnson race like I was, some years ago. 50/50 is good odds, in my experience.
I remember the "elections" we had in school....and I was one of VERY few, that voted for Goldwater...
I didn't have a clue why...I was too young, but my parents were for Goldwater...and that was good enough for me!!
