When I first registered, I was in college in Pennsylvania in 1971,
and registered there, as I was indeed living there at the time.

In Pennsylvania (at least back then), you could only vote in
the primary of a party if you were registered as a member of
that party. I've been a Democrat every since, even though the
very first vote I ever cast was in the Philadelphia mayoralty
election between their incredibly corrupt buffon of a police
commissioner, Frank Rizzo, and Thatcher Longstreth, who was an
incredibly decent guy. I don't know if Longstreth stayed a
Republican, but soon after being elected mayor of Philydelphia,
Rizzo switched to the Republican party. He started building
a $400,000 house (in 1973!!) on his $40,000 (or whatever it was
then) salary until the papers caught it, and he was forced to
admit that there was no way he could finance such a house
legitimately (no wonder he switched to the Republican Party).
This was back when the MSM reported Republican crimes. Many of
you will not remember that.

Rizzo went down to DC a couple of times to hang with Nixon, but
even Nixon couldn't stand him, and he soon faded into nothingness,
which is pretty much where he belonged.
