Have not missed an election since 1971.

Only non-Democratic Party or position ever voted GOP (or 3rd party) was for John Anderson to slow Reagan in 1980 CA POTUS primary.

Wish the Democratic Party had provided more candidates I could be excited about (like Obama) and had no choice but to vote for so many duds too often.

I am a senior in severely declining health and would like to more see younger, vibrant candidates with a long future.
