...For me, it was the 1992 debates. George H.W. Bush was on and he was talking all about big business and growing our economy. He struck a bad chord with me then, and I remember my family talking about how Reagan and Bush's economic policies have hurt them. Then Clinton came on, and I remember I was enamored by his message, that he wanted to side with working families. I told my parents that I liked Clinton, and they said that they agreed, and he would be a breath of fresh air in a world of corporations ruining lives.

My story, believe it or not, was a lot like Schwartzenegger's "How I Became A Republican" bit, except it was "How I Became A Democrat" and GHWB vs. WJC.
