My son is 26, NEVER cared about politics at all, neither has my husband...they always said it didn't matter. THIS YEAR THEY ARE VOTING FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! Along with my 2 daughters who can for the first time....I've never missed a vote...so I have 4 new voters in my house alone!!
And what are those votes? :)
I hope they are voting for President Bush.
My 93 year old mother is in poor health and has been housebound for the past few years. She was registered as a Democrat the last time she voted, but she has moved here from FL since then. After Kerry was nominated she had me register her by mail as a Republican, and I also requested a mail-in ballot for her.
Last week she cast her first vote since 1984, and it was a straight Republican ballot. I guess that after 44 years of me trying to convince her that the Democrat party is no longer the party of Truman and FDR my legendary powers of persuasion finally won her over.
Or maybe it was because she thinks Kerry is a dorky looking Frenchman, and I haven't quite gotten around to telling her the truth yet. The truth about Kerry not being French I mean, she's right about him looking like a dork. Especially when he wears camo hunting garb and totes a shotgun, a gun which I'm sure he hates and would love to wrap around the nearest tree if no photographer was around.
