3. Born in 1957, as well.

Registered as a Democrat in 1976 -- so ya got a year's seniority on me, Stoic.



And our Party has been on the right side of history for a long, long time.

5. Lets see.... 39 years since I turned 18, yikes - that makes me old!

I've never changed my registration - always been democrat.

And thanks for (not) so subtlety exposing the ages of your fellow DUers!

11. You are not old. It's been 59 years since I turned 18.

And the first time I voted for a president was for JFK.

6. Me too. My first Presidential vote was for Jimmy Carter.nt

7. I registered when I turned 21, while serving in the USAF. I've been a

Democrat since 1966, when I registered. I have voted in each and every election, including purely local elections, and have never once cast a vote for any Republican. I can't imagine that I ever will. I guess that's 45 years.

8. 21 for me

Pretty sure that was the voting age in the 60's.

9. Grew up in Democratic extended family - registered to vote at 21

which was the legal age then and have voted Democratic every election since then. Will in 2012 also. 48 years.

10. As soon as I became a citizen in 1998

As a protest, and this state has an open primary, I changed to indie. Of course there are a few reasons why all this is theater anymore.

12. Entire Life - Watched Kennedy Returns w/ My Mom

until I couldn't stay awake any longer.

Couldn't wait to vote in 72.

13. Went door to door at age *8 (for 25 cents) placing flyers for

JFK in 1960. My Dad was active with the Democratic party and showed me how to read the street list to find all the D's and be sure to put the flyer in between the screen door and main door if they weren't home!!

Registered as soon as possible when I turned 19 (we didn't have the right to vote yet when I was 18). So I've been a registered Dem for 40 years. Never wavered and never will.
