Showing Original Post only (View all)Who Was Your First Presidential Vote - DU Poll [View all]
Last edited Sat Nov 7, 2015, 03:37 PM - Edit history (3)
My first vote was for George McGovern for President, 1972. Damn Nixon won. I was really heartbroken.
Assuming everyone voted Democratic.
Edit: I tried to include Gore, Kerry and Obama but it has a limit of ten spaces.
Edited poll to delete Harry Truman and Adlai Stevenson and include Obama, Gore/Kerry. Again, since there's only ten spaces I had to double Gore and Kerry.
One vote for Truman by katmondoo. Great job, kat.
If you click on Show Usernames and it reads that katmondoo voted for Obama, that's false.

And you need to add "My first one is next year" for the ones just getting to 18 next year."

We are the same age. I did the same as you, sans the write in, hence the dumb.

I can now roughly tell how old 218 DU posters are, as well as the average age of DUers
