Gracchi has tagged me with the 'First Political Memory' meme...

My first real political memory was the Presidential race of 1980 when Jimmy Carter was running against Ronald Reagen and Iran was holding Americans hostage.

I didn't really grasp what was going on, but I vividly remember the talk around the community of having to goto war to get the hostages back if Carter won the Presidency again.

I'm not going to tag anyone else :)
