I voted for Carter in 76. His performance was so pathetic that I promised myself I’d never vote Democrat again. And I haven’t.
You and I did the same thing. I was one of those farmer sons who voted the same as dear old Dad. I used to vote for the candidates who were closely aligned with my views. Jimma catta changed that completely. I have never voted for anyone with a (d) behind their name since '76.

Same here. I was at least intellectually honest enough with myself to admit I didn't know what either party stood for as a teenager, so I'd registered as an Independent. After Carter I was so disgusted with all politics I don't think I voted again until Bush #1. When Slick Willie was elected that turned the tide for me and I registered as a Republican.
