When Reagan was elected in 1980 Barry had just come of Tammy Wynette’s tour and was 23 years old. At this point he was a liberal Democrat. In 1981 he toured with Waylon Jennings and his world views began to change. By 1983 during a tour with Hank Williams Jr., Barry had become a full fledged gun owning conservative. His political stances have changed many times between 1980 and today.
A year later he was elected Arkansas's attorney general. In 1978 Clinton decided to run for governor of Arkansas. He won the election against Republican State Chairman A. Lynn Lowe, receiving 63 percent of the vote to Lowe's 37
Originally an actor, Ronald Reagan served two terms as President of the United States in the 1980s, but he always remained an actor at heart. When he won the election for Governor of California, Reagan was asked what he planned to do when he took office. 'I don't know,' he replied, 'I've never played a governor.' And at the 1987 Economic Summit in Venice, Italy, the leaders of the world's industrial nations were surprised to see Reagan reading his lines off specially written cards: not just at important meetings, but even at informal cocktail parties! But Reagan is not the only one who has used his fame to make an impact in the political world….
Within a year of returning to Arkansas Clinton began his political career he ran for the House of Representatives but was defeated by a narrow margin of 52% to 48% by the incumbent, John Paul Hammerschmidt. However Clinton was undeterred and two years later was elected to be the Attorney General of the state of Arkansas. Two years after that in 1978 Clinton furthered his political career by getting elected as Governor of Arkansas becoming the youngest governor in the country at the age of 32. I find it truly amazing that he was able to accomplish so much by the age of 32, he had done more than many have in a life time, and when you take into account that he was in school until he was 27, you really see just how incredibly successful Clinton in just five years of completing his
President: William McKinley Political Party: Republican Years as President: 4 Years Defeated Party: Benjamin Harrison Political Background: When the Civil War ended, McKinley returned to Ohio to begin his career in law and politics. He studied law at Albany Law School and, after passing the bar exam in 1867, began his legal practice in Canton, Ohio.

Support for freedom fighters is self-defense." --President Reagan, in the State of the Union, February 1985 Ronald Reagan is the master of the new idea, and has built the most successful political career in a half-century launching one after another. His list of credits includes small government (Barry Goldwater having tried, and failed, with it first), supply-side economics, and strategic defense (Star Wars). These radically changed the terms of debate on the welfare state, economic theory and nuclear strategy. All that was left for him to turn on its head was accepted thinking on geopolitics.
At the age of 28, in 1910, Roosevelt was invited to run for the New York State senate. By running as a Democrat, he broke his family tradition, in a district that voted Republican for 32 years. With the help of his name, he ran and won by a Democratic landslide. When he became a senator, he went against the Democrats of New York.
