Huh this is strange, Whats with 20% of democrats voting for ford while carter only got 10% of republicans?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1976#Voter_demographicsCarter should of been the archtype democrat who could bring back the white conservative democrats back to the party. White evangelical southerner who grew up humble and had a folksy peanut farmer image. What explains why there were double of cross-party votes in favor of ford than the reverse?
If carter gained just 10% of democrats that went to ford he would of got a 400+ EV landslide
