5. Really awesome thanks.

I cast my first vote for Bill Clinton. He was really good at speeches too. Had people in tears sometimes. But the values of the party had shifted away from solidarity and more toward so-called "personal responsibility". I hope in my life I'm gonna have a chance to vote for a guy like McGovern and actually see him win.
