Election Night '84 - 8:44
8:44
A few more projections at this time and some good news from New England for the president. We’re calling New Hampshire and Maine for John B. Anderson. The staunch redoubt of Republicanism up in New England stays strong for them in 1984. But we’re also ready to call the state of Georgia with its 12 electoral votes for James Buckley, and his astonishing run across the South continues, this northern senator representing Connecticut seems to be the South’s favorite son tonight.
Anderson: 23
Buckley: 46
Lamm: 43
“Okay I think we can call these. No, let’s give it another minute on New Hampshire, I want to see a little more from them.”
“Did you see this?”
“What.”
“Right here.”
“Look, tell me what it is, I’ve got eight million things…”
“This swing. In Pennsylvania. Lamm’s lead’s cut in half over the last few minutes.”
“Okay, that’s enough form New Hampshire, let’s call these. What are you talking about Pennsylvania, we already called Pennsylvania.”
“I’m just. There’s a swing, see for yourself.”
