In reply to the discussion: Who Was Your First Presidential Vote - DU Poll [View all]DFW
(55,958 posts)83. My track record is way worse than yours.
I'm 5 for 11. Lost to Nixon once, Reagan twice, Bush Sr. once and Junior (well, with a little help from his friends) twice. I voted with the winner with Carter, Clinton twice and Obama twice. I never did have much in common with the "no difference" crowd.
I never got to vote for Howard Dean for president, unfortunately. Lost a candidate, kept a friend (doubt he would have had much time for me if he had been elected). I still wish he'd have made it to the Oval Office.
