2008, because, well, that was the only one I was old enough to comprehend when it happened. Most interesting to me wasn't the general. That was borgin: Obama's gonna win, and despite all my optimism, I was aware that most likely I'd have to face facts. The interesting part to me was the early Republican primaries. On a car ride home when it was dark in winter, hearing about reults coming in from NH or IA, and looking on the TV screen at home, and seeing these people I barely knew anything about. I found it interesting that people were saying Romney was in trouble, when out of MI, NH, and IA, he'd gotten 1st once and 2nd twice, giving him the best average out of the three. I also found the early Huck v Mitt battle interesting, and to me it was interesting that somehow McCain, a guy that according to my memory got like 4th place in IA, ended up beating Mitt in NH and going on to win the nomination. "Where did this guy come from?" was what I was thinking. That was when I had a much more child-like fascination with politics, which made it a lot more "wondrous" I guess, and fun to watch. Now, I'm predicting that watching primary results will be boring for me, but who knows?
