Nixon. I was happy when he won, because "I " won.<BR/><BR/>Years later, I'm still ashamed.<BR/><BR/>After my vote counted, it was Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Clinton, Clinton, Gore, and Kerry. Bet you can't guess who I'm planning to vote for.<BR/><BR/>Over the week, I had the chance to see some ads from Mondale and Dukakis.

I also cast a blatantly affirmative action vote for him in a school election because, at the time, I thought it was unfair that no black person had been president.

I think my parents sent me to school with a Mondale sticker, and I had bragging rights since he won by a landslide. When the real election was over that night, I couldn't believe that Mondale didn't win for real.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901057128252202893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15260078.post-39017274003098954692008-08-27T20:03:00.000-04:002008-08-27T20:03:00.000-04:00mdh - at least you're learning from your mistakes....mdh - at least you're learning from your mistakes. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15260078.post-26063464510103558602008-08-27T15:20:00.000-04:002008-08-27T15:20:00.000-04:00in 1992 I voted for Perot (I-Blame my older brothe...in 1992 I voted for Perot (I-Blame my older brother)<BR/><BR/>in 1996 I voted for Clinton (D-Incumbent)<BR/><BR/>in 2000 I voted for Nader (G-Glass House)<BR/><BR/>in 2004 I voted for Kerry (D-My State)<BR/><BR/>in 2008 I'm voting for Obama (D-Nazareth)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15260078.post-28904252757374654042008-08-27T15:07:00.000-04:002008-08-27T15:07:00.000-04:00My dad has this fantastic picture of him sitting o...My dad has this fantastic picture of him sitting on one of our couches in the house in the Congo. On the couch next to him is a man I didn't recognize at first, but in a double take I recognized him, Jesse Jackson. My mom's reaction was, "Oh yeah, he was very nice and unfailingly polite. He stayed in your room, Genius."<BR/><BR/>So Jesse Jackson slept in my bed.
