8. Me
All democratic since 1972.

I actually registered as republican to vote for Anderson in the primary. So did my husband. We lived under Raygun in California and knew what a disaster he'd be.

23. Welcome, newbie
Edited on Thu May-15-08 02:59 PM by wryter2000
While Raygun was governor, someone paid for a billboard that said, "Ronald Reagan is a Klingon." That was back in the days when Klingons were evil war mongers and enemies of the Federation. (I'm so old :))

A perfect Dem record except for Anderson. Oh well. I can never bring myself to actually vote for a Republican. My hand shakes too much.

13. Same as mine, down the line.
Not enthusiastic about Anderson, but knew Carter was hopeless (much as I liked him) and couldn't ever vote for RayGun. I know. I should have voted Carter anyway.

15. I skipped 1968
because I was pissed off after the Chicago convention (big mistake).

1972 - McGovern
1976 - Ford (another big mistake)
1980 - Carter
1984 - Mondale
1988 - Dukakis
1992 - Clinton
1996 - Clinton
2000 - Nader (Incoming! Incoming! Don't blame me, Gore wouldn't have won in Alaska anyway. And if he had been "new Gore" back in 2000, I would have voted for him happily)
2004 - Kerry
