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 wasn't old enough to vote, but at 8 years old, I stayed up till the wee hours watching the election returns. I was rooting for Nixon, but my older brother was more in favor of Kennedy. I have never voted for a Democrat for President.

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.
