13. The time I didn't vote for a woman ...

In 2008, Michigan moved its primary to earlier than the party permitted. Somehow, as a result, not all the candidates were on the primary ballot. I voted "non of the above" (or equivalent) because I would have preferred to vote for John Edwards (this was early in the race, before he became "that" John Edwards).

As far as voting for women in general, I would hope that, whatever the reason for our individual votes in the primary, that we would all vote for the Dem in the general, man, woman, camera, yellow dog, whatever.

And, repeating an earlier question in the thread, who are you talking to?
