27. My list

Mon Oct 27, 2014, 07:48 PM

Oct 2014

1980 Carter
1984 the lady standing next to me
1988 Dukakis
1992 Clinton
1996 My nephew
2000 Gore
2004 Kerry
2008 Obama
2012 Obama

So yes, early on I had a hard time voting for Dems. In 84 I stood there for a couple of minutes before asking the retired lady next to me for her name and if I could vote for her. She waited for me to finish and asked my why in the world would I do that. Told her I couldn't warm up to Mondale and there was no was no way I was voting for the ass currently in office. She laughed and surprisingly agreed that Reagan was an ass, then turned to the poll watchers and stated, now I get to go home and tell my husband that I have something he doesn't have, a vote for Presiedent. 1996 was even tougher, stood there for 10 minutes trying to pick Clinton, filled out the whole ballet went back to the top and wrote in my nephews name.
