Cetainly. Reagan v Carter was the first presidential election I paid much attention to.

Reagan's big tent included social conservatives, libertarians, small government conservatives, big government conservatives, supply siders, and tax hikers. Although I should have known better, I listened to NR when then all but indorsed Carter over Ford and didn't vote. I have not listened to the "lets teach the Repubs a lesson" ever since. We are in the middle of a war that may last as long as the Cold War. I will not willingly cooperate in anything that puts the Dems in power to create more Killing Field's and Boat People. If I could appoint the next president it would be a Dick Armey or Larry Kudlow. As it is I will support just about any candidate who I believe will be a good war leader.
