However, I'll remember the '81 election forever. Me and my new wife were excited to go in and both vote for Carter, her fist presidential vote.

We were just about to park and go in and vote (west coast) when the fucking radio announced that RayGun was declared the winner. What a freaking gut punch that was.

We still went in and completed voting but with caring a sadness. The West coast threw such a shit fit that we now don't get those early predictions. F'ers.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
