It was October 28th 1980. Ronald Reagan was preparing for a presidential debate. Reagan at 190 pounds and six foot one was all smiles. His opponent was President Jimmy Carter. Carter was a political junkie who immersed himself in his campaign to be reelected.
It was only one week until election day and the race was almost dead even. During the debate, Carter glanced at his opponent. He was all business and he believed that Reagan was not his intellectual. He had spent his military career on board nuclear submarines. He had experience in foreign and domestic policy. Carter had successfully debated against Gerald Ford in 1976. Now, he thought he could do the same against Ronald Reagan.
At 9:30 pm, the debate began.
