What a disappointing first election to have to choose from Bush or Gore. I guess that was better than what the first timers had to choose from this past election.

On a personal note, for a few months between getting out of the navy and starting college, I did landscaping on McCain's ranch in AZ. I never got the chance to meet him but his wife and children were very nice.

They are good people. Him, too.

Plus, he is one of the last GOP politicians around with the cajones to tell the party to STFU when they are out of line. You just don't find that much anymore.

I never voted for Bill Clinton. Never liked him much. I voted for Perot twice and for Nader in 2000 for the same season you gave.
