But Ford carried Virginia in 1976.

Ford lost in the electoral college 297-240. Ohio then had 25 electoral votes and Wisconsin had 11 electoral votes. Ford lost Ohio by 11 thousand votes and lost Wisconsin by less than 36 thousand. So 50,000 more votes in those two states and Ford would have won. And Iran would not be run by an ayatollah and a nut job.

That makes me feel a little better - I've carried this guilt for so long! Alas, though, the media did not know where my response came from and my horrible, horrible lie may have influenced people in other states! :(
