Who here has never voted in a Presidential Election where the Democrat won?

[Bicoastal]

I count myself in this group. I turned 18 in 2000--just in time to see George W. Bush, Katherine Harris, and the Supreme Court make a mockery of the whole democratic process. The Republicans have been running the Federal Government for literally my entire adult life.

Let's hope this year is our year, Generation Y!

2. I was fortunate...

I was able to vote for Clinton twice. I voted for Dukakis my first time around.

3. Since 1984, that's only happened to me once -- 1992 for Clinton.

(In 1996 I lived in a "safe" Dem. state and voted for Nader as a protest against Clinton's "triangulation" and DLC policies.)

4. Every Democrat I voted for won... Clinton, Gore and Kerry. n/t

5. Jimmy Carter was my first. Good grief, 59 years old and

this will only be the 3rd!

6. I've only voted in two

I've been eligible to vote in 7 presidential elections including this one.

Four of those were GOP victories.

I will also say, this is the first time in my life my first choice in teh primaries was the nominee.

7. Good point. My son says being a Dem is like being a Red Sox fan before 2004.

8. Bill Clinton in '92 was my first

But I remember the gas lines of Carter and the shooting and "memory loss" of the Reagan years.

I remember thinking the first Iraq war, Desert Storm, was wrong and proudly stood in Democratic headquarters in Lancaster, PA watching Bill Clinton be projected as the winner in a landslide. I also remember standing in the cold, drizzling rain handing out literature and talking to folks on election day at a VERY, VERY Repub precinct.

9. I Haven't. Didn't Care About Politics Much Until The Evening Of Election Day 2000.

That night I knew something was wrong. The following days, I knew there was more to politics than I ever realized. With the SC decision, I knew I had to start getting involved. I've never turned back since.

11. 1996-voted for Clinton at age 20. 2000, technically Gore won but...
