Your primary vote. 1992 and 2008

[peoli]

Question is who did you vote for in the 1992 primary and who are you voting for now? I am curious to see the link between Bill in 92 supporters vs. Hillary in 08


1992
Jerry Brown
Bill Clinton
Tom Harkin
Bob Kerrey
Paul Tsongas


As for me it was Brown and Obama

[SharonRB]

1. I don't even remember who I voted for,

but I think it was Bill. I'm voting "uncommitted" in our sham of a primary.

[cynthia]

2. Not only have I forgotten who I might have voted for in the primary

I don't remember the rest of those candidates. It is possible I was not paying attention to politics until October of that year.

[DemPopulist]

I wasn't eligible to vote yet

I was only 16, but I supported Clinton after Cuomo decided not to run. This year, I held out some hope for Gore, but have backed Edwards all the way through.

[rpannier]

3. Brown and Edwards

96 Clinton
2000 Gore
2004 Edwards

[FreeState]

4. Dont judge me on my first one.. I was young and nieve

1992: Bush/Dole
1996: Clinton
2000: Gore
2004: Kucinich
2008: Kucinich

[Catherine Vincent]

5. I voted for Bush.

I've been sorry for that ever since!

[Patchuli]

6. I voted for 'Moonbeam'

having enjoyed him as my governor! :hippie:

oops...forgot to say, supporting John Edwards now since I can't have Gore!

[bigwillq]

7. I couldn't vote in 1992

I was 14.

[MonkeyFunk]

8. Jerry Brown

and Hillary Clinton

[Adelante]

9. 1992 Clinton - 2008 Obama nt

[Justyce]

10. '92 Clinton / '08 Edwards. nt

[Tashca]

11. Harkin....Biden

I think there was a Virginia Governor by the name of Wilder that year too??

I voted in the Iowa caucus. I remember well....and this is the order of preference.

Harkin
Kerry
Tsongas
Brown
Wilder
Clinton

[peoli]

14. yeah, you are right

There was also

Doug Wilder
Eugene McCarthy
Tom Laughlin
Charles Woods

[DemPopulist]

16. Ha, that's right

"Billy Jack" ran! I remember now. He really hated Clinton, as I recall.

There was also Larry Agran, who was the ex-mayor of Sacramento? San Diego? Somewhere in California.

[DemPopulist]

12. Judging from this thread so far...

Brown would've swept the 1992 DU. :o

[sandnsea]

13. Clinton I think

I might have voted for Brown, but he really was a bit loopy at the time. I know I didn't vote for any of the other 3. I remember being very unhappy that primary season. We had a much better field in 88. Hart, Simon, Gephardt, Jackson, Gore, it was great.

[sjdnb]

15. Clinton 92, Edwards (if still in by our primary) 2008

Unless by some karmatic miracle Gore jumps in

[ooga booga]

17. 1992 - Clinton, 2008 - Biden - probably Edwards if Biden is out

In 1992, I wanted to vote for Illinois Senator Paul Simon, but he was out of the running by the time my state's primary came around. So, I rather unenthusiastically voted for Bill Clinton. Happily, I learned to like Bill more and more over time.

This time around I am very unsettled by Hillary Clinton's candidacy in many ways. If she ends up with the nomination and the presidency, I think I can arrive at a comfortable place with it. At least, I hope so. However, I think that there are SEVERAL better potential nominees in the race right now. Joe Biden is at the top of my list. The Texas primary is on March 4th. I'll have two options: vote for someone who's on the ballot but who has dropped out of the race* OR vote for the best candidate on the ballot who's still in the race.



* In 2004, I voted for Wesley Clark in the Texas primary even though he'd dropped out shortly before our primary. I felt I was making a statement of sorts. I do not regret not voting for John Kerry in the primary. His candidacy played out just like I feared it would.

[tritsofme]

18. I wanted Cuomo to throw his hat in the ring.

And flirted with Kerrey before settling with Bill.

This year I support Hillary.

[PurityOfEssence]

19. Brown, Edwards

For the record: Carter, Hart, Dukakis, Brown, Clinton, Gore, Edwards.

The party fucked us in '84 by shoving Mondale down our throat; Gary Hart didn't implode until '88. Sadly, he's probably the most underutilized statesman of the last couple of decades.

[sniffa]

20. 92 i wasn't yet 18

but back then i hated Bush, and if i had a vote, i would have went for Perot.

and i convinced my mom-dukes to vote for him over Bush.

now, i'm voting for either Kucinich or Dodd depending on how the pre-Super votes go.

[chascarrillo]

21. Browne

Harry Browne.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

[TransitJohn]

22. Here's mine

1992....didn't vote, I was off in Grateful Dead land and couldn't drink legally.....good times.
2000....Bill Bradley
2004....Dennis Kucinich
2008....Dennis Kucinich

[Mz Pip]

23. Probably Jerry Brown

but it might have been Tsongas. I really don't remember.

This time I'll probably vote for Biden, but haven't decided for sure yet.

24. 1992 - Clinton..2008 - Clinton...nt

[Kucinich4America]

25. Voted for Clinton in 1992

Though I briefly considered Perot because of NAFTA. I knew he was right, and Clinton and Bush were both wrong, but in the end I just couldn't bring myself to vote for a guy who sounded like he was on helium.

But he WAS right on NAFTA, and the world has sufferred for it.
