Reagan, Rockefeller and Moore win As election day, November 6. approached, presidential candidates Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale made appearances in West Virginia to seek votes for themselves and other members of their party. President Reagan’s trip to Parkersburg on October 30 attracted supporters from Marshall as well as from throughout the state. A few days later, November 2, Mondalc made his second visit to the slate at the Charleston Civic Center. Again Marshall students and faculty traveled to hear a national candidate speak. Candidates from within the state also sought the Marshall vote. John Racsc made a couple of appearances on Marshall’s campus during his U.S. Senate race against Gov. John D. Rockefeller. Arch Moore, running for a third term as governor, came to Marshall to let students, staff and faculty know his views about education in the state. On election day, student groups such as the College Republicans and the Young Democrats handed out last-minute campaign literature at polling places. To some the day was bright and shiny with winners; to others the briskness of the day was further chilled as the election returns showed their candidates had lost. As early as 8 p.m. the networks were predicting President Reagan the winner, but they had no idea that his victory would be so large. Reagan won more than 500 electoral votes to Mondale’s 13. Moore won an unprecedented third term as governor in a close race, and Rockefeller edged out Racsc for the U.S. Senate scat. For some, but not all, election day resulted in expectations fulfilled.
