I regret making an error in my first vote in 1999. I made it a point to educate myself on every candidate and vote based on my pro-life principles. Problem is, this was a City council election
One of the lesser-known candidates was advocating using zoning rules to zone Abortion clinics out of the city of Memphis. Probably not even feasable, but it sounded so good at the time. I didn't realize at the time that the local GOP had endorsed another, more prominent, more rational, more responsible candidate who was the eventual victor.
I not only regret intending to vote for the afore mentioned guy who wanted to out-zone clinics, I regret forgetting his name by the time I got to the booth and accidentaly voting for another longshot canadicy that I thought was him.
Fortunately, the Republican endorsee won and he is now a friend of mine and I have had the privelege of voting for him in a more recent election.
