what is your presidential voting record?

If you care to share, I thought it might be interesting to see which candidates you voted for in your past. I have to start with Bush Sr., I was barely able to vote before that and certainly not civic minded like today. I voted Bush Sr. the second time. Roz Perot I believe divided the republicans and thus Clinton won. I voted for Clinton on the second go around. Then Bush Jr. That was the biggest mistake I have ever made in politics. Then Kerry. Then McCain. And finally Obama.

If Hillary runs, I will likely vote GOP, if not then independent.

Guess I am a mixed up moderate that is very shoshalistic

Carter was the worst president so my first and second went to Reagan. Then Perto, Bush. Don't remember on Clintons second term or Bush II but don't think I voted. Then Bush 2nd, McCain, Romney.

Would never vote Obama he is now the worst President in my life time. Nixon was more honest.

You really want us to reveal our age, huh. OK, ever the rebel, here it is:

1976: Gene McCarthy
1980: John Anderson
1984: Walter Mondale
1988: Michael Dukakis (Why did he climb into that stupid tank?)
1992: Bill Clinton (My Al Davis vote - "Just win baby.")
1996: Bill Clinton (The most skillful politician of my voting life)
2000: Al Gore (I think the gay marriage issue cost him as much as the hanging chads - The anti-gay ballot measures energized the religious right in many states)
2004: Ralph Nader (it made no difference in Kansas)
2008: Obama (The most enthusiastic I ever was about my vote)
2012: Obama (resigned again to voting for a moderate)

Regards,

D-Ray

I've been watching the TV series Numb3rs lately. I'm wondering what type of whacky equation would predict the two incidences in which our presidential preferences intersected.

Anderson and Perot? People voted for them?

I was tending kind of radical in later HS but Fritz made an impression on me. I MIGHT have voted Dem at 18 but for St Ronnie being so popular. I came to believe that party is more important than the individual pretty early on (outside of corruption) so, straight GOP.

Reagan,
Bush Sr,
Bush Sr,
Dole,
Jr,
Jr,
McCain
and Romney.
