2. This November
I just turned 18 yesterday, so I get to cast my first ballot for John Kerry. And I'm proud to do so.

8. Ooooooooops! Mistake:
I voted for 1976 - on the Carter race - and that is wrong. LOL, I am getting old - I voted for McGovern in 1972.

10. If 18 year olds had been allowed to vote in 1968,
I'd have voted for Hubert Humphrey -- although my heart belonged to Eugene McCarthy, for whom I campaigned. As it was, I didn't get to vote in a presidential election until 1972, less than 2 weeks before my 23rd birthday. I voted for George McGovern, of course.

11. Kerry 2004
I missed being able to vote for Al Gore by a few months. I did write the endorsement for him in my high school newspaper and was part of the 17-percent who supported him in the school's mock election- for whatever that's worth!

12. First real vote went to
Mondale because that's the first one I was old enough to vote. Campaigned for Anderson in 1980 and "voted" for McGovern in a school election in '72. I was in second grade and I'm pretty sure that's when my mother (the "staunch" republican) knew she was in trouble.

13. Clinton in'92
Edited on Fri Sep-03-04 01:55 PM by ibegurpard
I was first eligible to vote in '88 (didn't vote...can't recall why), however, but I would've voted for Bush then because I was an idiot who didn't have a clue about politics. Listened to my parents and little snippets on TV...kind of like a lot of Americans now.

14. Would've been '68 but Humpty Dumpty was the candidate.
Voted for Dr. Spock instead.

15. I voted for John Anderson in 1980 because
he was actually suggesting a $.50/gallon tax on gasoline...something we should have done even before then.
