Any other former Republican voters here? (My Story)

[Best_man23]

62. I was a Repub voter back in the 1980s

First vote was in 1984 for Raygun, then 1988 for Bush 41. I had plans to vote for Bush 41 in early 1992 until the day I happen to run across a campaign event in Tampa for Democratic candidates for President. I had the opportunity to hear a man from Hope, Arkansas talk about his vision for the country. That man was future President Bill Clinton (AKA Big Dog).

I voted for President Clinton in 1992 and 1996, but continued to split vote at times based on the candidate. I was living in Chicago at that time and began listening to WGN radio when I went to bed. The programming on WGN was mostly RW radio (they had Limpballs on from 10-1 during the day), but at night they had Mike Malloy's show on during the time I would be in bed for the evening. Mike's show converted me to a full-on progressive as it showed me the values that I held were aligned to being a Democrat.
