Poll question: How Far back Do Your Political Musings, Observations, and Predictions Extend?
Advertisements [?]
One of my very first jobs as a teen was working on the research desk of my local library. The head research librarian was very into "forward compatibility" concepts for ensuring that data produced on relatively new PCs would survive technology refresh cycles.

Thanks to his enthusiasm and passion for the subject, I took the time at each major upgrade (new operating system, etc.) to ensure that my writings on my political passions survived the jump.

Now, I have a pretty cool archive of contemparaneous writings, to figure out the evolution of my thinking on some issues.

That, plus just being able to run a keyword search on the likes of Dick Morris: priceless. I had him pegged early.

So, how far back can you dive and delve to figure out how and when you changed your mind about important topics, candidates, etc.?
