When I was really young I vaguely remember elections in the air. 

I remember when Mcgovern ran against Nixon in 1972.  I was 9 years old, but I remember not agreeing that McGovern was such a bad fellow.  My parents were very strong Republicans (well, my father - my mother just follows his lead) :-) 

I also watched into the night when Jimmy Carter won the presidency. I remember being frustrated that I wasn't old enough to vote.  I liked him very much; I'm sorry he isn't remembered so well as a good president.

I voted for the first time for Bush Senior only because Dukakis creeped me out.

I haven't voted for a Bush since.

On October 30th I voted for Change. :-)

The first presidential election I remember was Carter. I loved Carter. He had a nice smile. I was 6. I was so happy that he won.

I like Carter a lot too.

I did vote for Dukakis, but yes....creepy was the word.

The first time Clinton was elected I was so excited to vote and thrilled that he won. But I think I am even more excited this time.

My first honest memory (honest being I remember it without prompting) was watching Nixon as he announced his resignation.
