Good news is, my first ever presidential vote just went for Barack Obama :)

2. Does this mean you are an under-30 voter? If so, I hope you are an indication...
that the young people are going to turn out to vote this year!

4. Yes.
I had "turned" against Bush in 2004, but was 24 at the time, and I guess a "slacker," so I had never registered to vote. As the election drew closer, I started getting more excited, and finally decided to register and go vote...

...except in my state, you have to register a month before elections to get to vote. So, I never got to vote against Bush.

I did vote in the 2006 midterm elections, and voted in the Democratic primary this year. And now I have cast my first vote for president :)

Voting FOR Obama almost makes me forget about my regrets about never getting to vote against Bush.

3. Well, in the sense that McShame would have been a Bush 3rd term,
you did vote against him. You voted for change and hope.

Congrats, btw!

5. I have voted
against Reagan, Bush I, Dole, Bush II, and now McCain. It was all very satisfying. Anytime you get to vote against such horrible people is good.
