Summary

The former movie actor Ronald Reagan may have been the perfect political candidate for the television age. The conservative Republican governor of California appealed to voters disappointed in the policies of incumbent Democrat Jimmy Carter. In The Election of 1980 and the Administration of Ronald Reagan, historian Jules Witcover provides a chronology of the growing importance of full-time political "handlers" in presidential elections, and offers an overview of Reagan's decisive victory in the 1980 campaign.
