2. No shame in voting for Perot. |

He would have spared us NAFTA.

7. Yeah, I'm 50, so that makes Clinton twice and (probably) Carter... could you vote |
|
at 18 back then, or was it 21? I would've been about to turn 19 in 1976 when Carter ran. It's hard to f-ing believe that those are the only Dem presidents we've had in all that time, dammit!!!

9. I think it was 18. Carter v Ford was the first election I voted in. |
|
I even did my term paper on the election - hehe - some things never change.

11. You know, I never thought about it before, but SAME HERE, lol!! |
|
Clinton 2x. EVERY other presidential candidate I have voted for has lost. No wonder I have felt so disillusioned at times by the whole political process.....

Well, five now, which puts me over half.

20. I'm 36 and I've never voted for a winning ticket. |
|
Sad to say, in my first election, '92, I didn't vote, I was off in Grateful Dead Land. I '96 I voted for Nader. Since then, I've voted for Gore and Kerry. It'll feel good tonight!

I'm 62 and I've only voted for the winner twice myself. Clinton '92 and Clinton '96. Pretty sad...
The one other time I could have gotten it right was Carter in '76, but I voted for Ford. Kill me now.
