I wish I could find ABC's 1968 coverage, but Vanderbuilt's Archive charges too much and they only have half of the coverage.

For 1966 the color on this is in great quality, way better than the 1972 coverage I have from them

i can't believe they would elect Reagan over Pat Brown. This is California, not Oklahoma.

Well, I believe a guy in the video said "California is slowly turning Republican". Brown was starting to get to the point where he could not control anything, so Reagan was the best canidate in '66 imo.

Another guy in the video said the California voters "Were like a woman who can figure out which hat to buy at a store"

"The California electorate is behaving a little like a woman buying a new hat. It can't seem to make up its mind."

lol 1960s

Yeah that's it.  If you think that was funny ABC's 68 coverage had William F. Buckley and Gore Vidal try to see who could insult each other the best. By EN they had to spilt them up.

Here's another Video I found with Reagan. This one is from Nixon's inauguration in 69, and it is kind of weird to watch after knowing the Nixon put Reagan on his enemies list.

Another thing that I found funny was that Mike Wallace from CBS was trying his best to steal Sam Donaldson and ABC's Thunder. It's kind of pathetic actually imo
