this is an omen...on some news program I saw today...the balloons didn't drop correctly at the 1980 convention (Carter)

God has a great sense of humor.

I kind of vaguely remember that with the balloons.

I remember the 1976 debate when there were all those rumors of Ford/Reagan. I remember Frank Reynolds and Max Robinson....back when ABC News meant something. I think even Sam "the sham" Donaldson roved the floor then.
