51. I volunteered for the Kerry/Edwards campaign and...

I remember paperless voting machines were invented (by right wing extremists)
and the final vote count in Ohio was questionable.

But the one thing that is imprinted in my mind is the 'Swift Boat' ads. John Kerry
did 3 terms in Vietnam and W was able to be bought out of going and they questioned
John Kerry and his service to our county. It still makes my blood boil!
