I remember when I registered as a Republican because of Jimmy Carter.
The first President that I ever voted for was Reagan against Carter in 1980. I have voted for the Republican candidate in every Presidential election since (even though I have had to hold my nose a few times to do it).
I was kicked out of PoliSci for telling my PoliSci professor ‘He is a stupid peanut farmer’ when she (she looked like an ugly HelenThomas) told the class to vote for Jimmy.
