“One of my uncles was telling me his first vote was for Nixon. My mother voted for Reagan her first time.”
My first vote was for Ford. Carter won! That hurt, a lot.
My first vote was for Ford, too. Election Day was on my 18th birthday that year. I was soooooo sad Mr. Peanut won.
I feel bad my first presidential vote was for Jeb’s daddy in 1988, but in fairness I was a registered Democrat at the time so I was beginning my rightward turn then, though voting for Bush Sr and his sons is hardly voting for a rightward turn.
