I was at work when the word spread around the plant. I was devastated.
I was fresh out of college when JFK ran for President. I was every bit as excited over his candidacy as young people were over Obama in 2008. I enthusiastically voted for him in 1960.
I never voted for a Democrat again. I got my head on straight during the LBJ years.
I have voted for some decent Democrats for local and state office though. I came to detest hearing LBJ's voice, but it's even worse with the Won. Not only detest it, but it makes me nauseous as well.
