...face, don't you worry I'll be back." Blue, blue--I believe there's a philosophical inquiry into the nature and the consummated state of bluedness (Check it out at the Grolier bookshop).

In actual votes, Carter won by almost 2 million, or 51% to Ford's 48%, greater than the bare victories of either Jack Kennedy in 1960 (49.7%) or Richard Nixon...
