I wasn’t quite seven years old, when I sat up with my Daddy to see JFK elected. The whole process, as I watched it on the television, fascinated me; and it was the beginning of my interest in politics.
(However, I wouldn’t trust that everything you find on Twitter is true...)
JFK was running at the time.
I was in a Catholic School and we were all bussed to see this pretty boy.
When I was 7 or so years old, I remember one time my Grandma jokingly said to me, “Let’s talk politics”. I remember being a bit confused and think politics was something bad. Little did I know how close I was to the truth.
We had a board game called “Politics” around that time where you put pins in a map that you earned by answering questions.
NY had 45 electoral votes and California 32 back then....
