Carter was even ahead a few weeks before thlie election, 'according to the polls. But, in a huge gesture o l-can-change-my-mind-if-l-want-to-iveness, Carter ended u royally. Only six states and the District of Columbia voted for Cart received 489 electorial votes, 219 over the amount nee The success wasn't confined to only the presidency. For the fi 26 years, the Senate was under Republican control and th American bombing rg Reagan ed to win. rst time in House of Representatives' number of GOP members grew coisiderably. Some blamed the immense defeat of Democrats in general early concession speech. Time zone changes made the differenc as Carter threw in his towel, polls were still open in the western country. When people found out that Carter had lost before n Carter's because, arts ofthe .he had a Y chance to vote, they decided to vote just a straight Republican ballot. This brought many of the other Democrats running for various offices who had a chance down with the President's defeat. The Moral Majority emerged as a large influence in our country. They published a list of who they thought were the unproper candidates according to their beliefs. Don Nickle supported by them, won on a strong platform of conservatism art of the roper and , strongly and down home religion. These included beliefs such as the need for the gisposal of the theory of evolution in our schools and replacing it with th Humorists ran around taking advantage of the strange asp theory of Genesis. cts of the a an was seen as someone who could act like afpresident election. Re g better than anyone else. Jokes were made about the First Lady-elect, Nancy, wanting the Carters to move out so she could get on with her remodeling of the White House. She was also named the b?t dressed WOfT'l n of 1980. Carter's administration made a scramble to free the hostages in Iran the last months of its term. The four days of festivities fo inauguration included balls countrywide and the largest firewo in the country's history. On the day ofthe actual inauguration, r Reagan's rks display vord came that the hostages were b ing freed. The process took days and lasted into the beginning o Reagan's presidency. Since the freeing of the hostages had really happened during Carter's administration, the glorious first days of presid ncy were somewhat dampened f r Reagan. But to show we hadn't forgotten our new President, Tulsa's U F station, channel 23, played Bedtime for Bonzo, one of his movies, on in uguration 174 night.
