I am so lucky. I had the privilege to be raised by a dad who steered an 18 year old into casting her first vote for president Reagan. After 30 some years in the Bush-Dole-Mclame-Romney desert, I really didn’t think another truly inspiring candidate would come in my lifetime. Best election ever.
Actually Reagan was the first candidate for President I voted for as well. But I was 27. Up until that time I really could have cared less about politics. Living in Northern Virginia at the time everything was about politics year round, so I kind of just tuned it all out. But Reagan sparked something in me along with Carter’s ineptness, and have participated in every election since. Like you this is the first candidate since Reagan that has gotten my excitement level up for a candidate.
