    his election in 1976 was the first one i remember. i was in primary school at the time. i got to stay up to watch the news coverage on tv that night.

    i’ve been a dfl’er ever since.

    in our own mock elections at school, he won by a wide margin (and again in 1980, as did mondale in 1984). in 1980, i was one of the kids in class assigned to stump for carter for a class project.

    he will always be near the top of my list of favorite or ‘best’ presidents.
