And the election craziness continues!

Jim, I believe the Nixon election was in Nov 1972. I remember because I turned 18 that August and it was my first time to vote. It was an important year because people woke up and realized that if they can ship you off to Viet Nam at 18, you ought to be able to drink a beer and to vote.
My first time to vote.
My last time ever to vote for a Republican for president.

Yessir, I edited the dates after thinking about it. I was in beautiful S.E. Asia working the Vietnamese mission in '72 and remember the "old enough to go to war, but not old enough to vote" argument the year prior, just before I entered Basic Training. Ha! I also remember receiving my draft notice .... WHILE I was in Basic Training! Duh!
