Feinstein, I canvassed for Kerry in NH when I was in 8th grade!!!

A guy came to the door with his robe open. So. Awkward. My mom and I were just like "nevermind" and booked it back to the car.

'96, William Jefferson Clinton. I was SO thrilled that day. I felt like I won the lotto.

1972..Voted for McGovern and it was the biggest trouncing anyone has gotten in an election...until this year...maybe it has something to do with Mc in the name....

This is my first election! I missed the '04 election by a little over a month.

I voted for Lincoln, and thankfully he won!


EDIT: Okay, seriously... I missed the 1980 election by 2 days!!

So, I had to wait until 1984.

This election, for Obama. I've been volunteering for the campaign since last October.

2004. I was 20. Voted for Kerry. I didn't do any campaigning but I almost got to be a delegate for Kerry at my state's nominating convention.

The first election I paid any attenion to was Clinton/Gore 92', but I was only 14. The first time I voted was Clinton/Gore 96'.

This is mine! I voted in the primaries which was my first time voting, and this is my first election.

Oh, and I'm 19, turning 20 in a few weeks.

This will be the first presidential election in which I can vote, although I did volunteer and campaign for Kerry in 2004, and for Dean in the '04 primaries. I've been an opinionated and political person for as long as I can remember and never let my inability to vote deter me from supporting the candidates with whom I agreed. And, of course I'll be voting for Obama.

This will be my first Presidential election and I couldn't be more excited to vote for Obama. My absentee ballot has been in the mail for over a week now. I was only 16 in 2004.

My first election was the big '06 election where the Dems took back the House and Senate. I'm glad I got to help put Sherrod Brown in the Senate and Ted Strickland in the Ohio governor's office.

Abe Lincoln

Seriously, I think it was Nixon/Humphrey.
