(25,406 posts)And I remember walking by the Republicon HQ in Seattle on that evening in November, 1980 on my way to the bus. They were jubilant, and I found out the reason why when I turned on my own TV at home an hour later. That's one of the things about living on the West Coast, you're aware early in the night about what happened in the country every two years.
At least Jimmy Carter tried to send a rescue to our hostages in Iran, it's too bad that we were so ill-prepared to do the job right. I wish I could see the President as a leader rather than as a bewildered bystander in what might be the most important domestic crisis of his Presidency.
Yes, I was the only adult wearing a Seahawk shirt in the 200+ gathering at the banquet hall down the Jersey Shore where I watched the victory, and even though I didn't win any of the betting pools, nor any of the 60" TV's raffled off to those in attendance, I was the happiest man in the room. At the end of the game, the restroom attendant's approximately five year old son (yeah, it was that fancy of a place) had a Seahawk shirt on, and I fist bumped him and said, "Hey big guy, we did it!" to the delight of his father.
