The answer is did i feel prepared . Yes, i really did. First of all, i wasnt elected so it didnt make that much difference.

So i liked being the wife

Babe was a progressive back when progressives were called liberals. And he was a liberal back in 1980 when the Reagan wave swept lots of folks like that out of office.
