It's probably harder for Chris to unlearn the RAT brainwashing than most....considering who his dad is.
I thank my mom all the time for making me watch the watergate hearings when I was 4.
I've been hooked on politics ever since.
The first Inaguration I remember was Pres. Reagan in 1981...I was in 6th grade...our teacher wheeled a class into our room to watch it.
Heh, I remember the election between Nixon and Kennedy. I was so disappointed that Kennedy won. I was six years old. I voted for Nixon when I turned 18... my first presidential vote. :)
Mine was 1960 JFK. Teacher wheeled a TV in. I remember standing up when the National Anthem was played, and the other kids looking at me, until they all stood up as well. It was different, seeing it on TV
