2nd term. I was standing in line at this hotel/bar waiting to vote. The polls had just closed on the east coast (5PM my time) and Dan Rather comes on and says CBS has projected Reagan. I walked out, I had a concert to go to in Boulder, but many walked out with me. There was still 2 hours left in my time zone and it was over.

That election was won 525 to 13. I think it was quite safe to call it when they did. Travis_0004 Jun 2012 #6
