I think Reagan will be re-elected, because America has no history of booting out incumbents (except Jimmy Carter.) (P.S. I did NOT say the America has NEVER booted out an incumbent, I merely say it is not a frequent occurrence.) David Whitney ctvax!uokvax!uok!dwhitney /* ---------- */ Infrequent is correct. I think the only other incumbent not to get relected is Ford (how did you miss him, david?). If their are others, I'd like to know about it.
