Who was the first presidential candidate you voted for?

[DanimalBr]

IN other words what presidential election did you very first vote in and who was it for? 


For me, the very first one I voted for would be Bob Dole in 1996. 

[Moooooo]

2004 - Sen. John Kerry

[nclib]

2000 - Al Gore (D)

Hmmm.   3 replies so far, and all 3 of them are losers.

I voted for Carter in 1976.

Hey! An Oklahoma resident.  Ive been searching for one.  Whats up with Brad Henry?  How does his re-election chances look?

I think that Bugs is actually an Alaska resident with an Oklahoma avatar.

My first vote will be in 2008.

I'm admittedly not mch of an expert, but in a state where every county voted Republican in 2004, I think his chances are fairly good in 2006, although it's no certainty.

Brad Henry is a Democrat, so every county having voted Republican in the presidential election of 2004 is not really that great of a sign for him.

I was born in Alaska but live in Oklahoma.  I probably screwed something up when I started on this forum.

Utah has a Democratic Congressmen despite the determined efforts of Utah Republicans.

True, but who would think a state like Oklahoma would have a state legislature dominated by democrats?

[A18]

Oh, I'm not saying he's screwed. I'm just saying that every county voting Republican isn't one of the things that makes his re-election chances look good.

Oh, I see - I remembered something about being born somewhere different than you live, and your location in your profile is Alaska, so I assumed.

Yeah, hes definitley not a lock.  He won in 2002 with like 42%.  An Independent candidate ran to the right of the Republican in that race and snatched up a good percentage of the vote.  Henry is probably going to need some help again in 2006.

2004-Senator John F. Kerry

[dazzleman]

1980 - Ronald Reagan

[Keystone Phil]

My first vote will be in 2006 (for Rick Santorum)

My first Presidential vote will be in 2008 (hopefully for Rick Santorum)

[TX_1824]

1976---Jimmy Carter, then I realized my mistake and voted for Reagan in 1980.

1964- Barry Goldwater (though only 14 I voted my Great-Grandmother's absentee ballot)

Did she die, or why did you use it?

I asked her to request one so I could vote it for her. She was 94 at the time and really didn't care who won so she got one and let me vote it . I did the same thing in 1968 with another Grandmother.

And you didn't vote for T. Coleman Andrews or Rutherford Decker?

In 1964 I really wanted to vote for E. Harold Munn, Sr or Joseph B. Lightburn but neither were on the ballot in Michigan. In 1968 I wanted to vote for Professor Munn once again but he was, again, not on the ballot. I voted Wallace instead. BTW, Andrews ran in 1956 (Constitution Party) and Decker was the Prohibition nominee in 1960. Even I wasn't voting at age 6 or 10!

I thought Decker was the nominee of the Prohibitionists in 1964, my mistake.

[KEmperor]

Heh, the first President I voted for was Harry Browne.  The folly.

[Citizen James]

1988 - George H. W. Bush (If I'd only known about his son.   Even Dukkakis couldn't do as much damage to the Republic as Jr. has managed)

But H.W. - he was a good man.  Experienced, moderate, diplomatic.  He had more in common with Al Gore than with his son.
