As a Mondale supporter, I do agree with that logic, to some
extent.  Those of you who are voting for Reagan because
the economy is doing better right now (everyone's forgotten
about the recession in the middle of Reagan's term) should
really be writing in Paul Volcker's name instead.  He has
more to do with the recovery than Reagan.  The economy
has been having more rapid up and down cycles for the last
few years, and the next downturn is going to be made worse
by Reagan's deficits and the "strong" (boy, talk about
your loaded words) dollar. If people are going to give Reagan
credit for the current upturn, I want to see him get the 
blame for the downturn, too.  Assuming that I am right
(I don't expect everyone to assume the same), It's also
important that Reagan not win by a landslide.  If it's
reasonably close, more people will question their wisdom
in voting for Reagan.  McGovern lost so badly that there
were very few people who could say, "Don't blame me; I
voted for McGovern."
