When I first came of voting age I voted for Brad Henry (D) to be re-elected (he won re-election by a landslide, imagine that a moderate Democrat winning 66% of the vote in bat crazy Oklahoma) as governor.
I almost voted for Bill Wortman until I found out about his endorsement of "volunatary racial separation", so I voted for Alan Gentges (D) for US Representative.
So yeah my first time voting I voted for two Democrats.
Second time around I voted for Andrew Rice (hey the other choice was Jim Inhofe) for US Senate. I voted for whoever the Democrats had running against John Sullivan for US House. I made a cringe vote for Obama (hey the ballot access laws here suck). I didn't like it, but it was a better vote than "bomb Iran" McCain (I guess you could call it the "Goldwater Effect").
So yeah, I've been voting for a different party ever since I got registered to vote. Maybe if the ballot laws were fairer here, maybe I wouldn't have to stoop to voting Democrat.
