I've voted in every election since 1992; 1992 being a combination of presidential election year and my being old enough to vote. At the time it was William Jefferson Clinton v George Herbert Walker Bush and it had been twelve years of Republican presidents and we were ready for a change as evidenced by the 370 (Clinton) to 168 (Bush) electoral votes. And the 44,909,806 to 39,104,500 popular vote for Bill Clinton. There was also a little elf-like character named Ross Perot [no offense to the pro-elf movement].
Once again we are ready for change. Yesterday was my little sister's generation's turn. I'm so proud of her; and a little envious that her first time was so utterly fantastic!

Nice votin' Hippie Chick!

Yay, sister!
Congratulations to your sis!
1992 was my first Presidential election too! It was so exciting, just think: we ousted an incumbent that year!
2008 was utterly amazing. I'm actually feeling really lucky that I am a mom of three young children during this election. I felt like I was voting for their future, and it was really meaningful for me.
Good for Dorothy!!
it was my son's first vote, too - he voted by Absentee ballot from NYC.
and she's young enough to ward off the effects of the free starbux and Krispy Kremes!!
good for her!
by the way - your word verification is 'cogidy' -is that ageism of some sort ??
You do know that you just admitted to tweaking your little sister's boob, right? :P
This was my 1st election too... but I'm 40. And I didn't get no boobie sticker--I feel robbed!

Yay! To your little sister. That's awesome. My first election was 1988!!! Bush v. Dukakis... hmmmm
No boob sticker for my son--he voted absentee from college. The next generation is doing it up right!
great first election.
nice choice for blog of the week too, i heart deb.
Yay to your sis! This is my second time voting for a president but it was an extra special one for many reasons.
After me and my boyfriend watched Obama win the election on TV, he proposed to me with a gorgeous diamond engagement ring from www.idonowidont.com so I went from sayin yes we can to soon saying I do.
It's a great year to be a democrat!
Did she present her first boob sticker at Starbucks for a free java?
Congrats to all!
Can you tell I changed my shirt for my special boob sticker pic?
