¡Chris Christie, todavía estás a tiempo!

De propina os dejo este pequeño documental del programa Assignment Four (una especie de 'Informe Semanal' californiano de los años 60) del canal KRON-TV de San Francisco, que nos acerca a la primera campaña de Ronald Reagan a gobernador de California en 1966, su primera aventura política personal a los 55 años de edad.



Se recomienda el libro The Right Moment de Matthew Dallek para conocer en profundidad aquella sorprendente campaña que llevó a un outsider hasta la mansión del gobernador con la ayuda del millonario vendedor de coches Holmes Tuttle.
