DUers who voted in the 1980 Democratic Primary.... who did you vote for?

Any memories of this campaign would also be much appreciated, as many of us were either too young to vote or not politically aware at the time.

I saw Teddy's entry as divisive. I hadn't supported Carter in the '76 Primary; when for Mo Udall back then, as I recall, but I saw no good coming from Kennedy's run against a sitting Democrat.

voted for Raygun in the general (last Republican I voted for in the general). I have voted Republican in the primaries since but couldn't bring myself to vote for the winner in the general.
