It should have been my 10th, but I didn't vote in 1992 b/c I didn't register to vote when I lived in SC.

I voted for Hillary at about 8:45 this morning, going out to the polls about half an hour before I planned to do so because I couldn't wait.

Busy this year. All voting booths were full and there was a line. They also had tables set up, so I went over to one and marked my ballot.

The person in line behind me was an on-duty St. Paul police officer, who stopped by to vote on a break.

Now...the waiting begins.

...and currently 5/12, hoping today to improve to 6/13--and then live long enough to raise my average to .500 in 2020!

I'm 8 of 12 voting for the winners. I was an independent swing voter for the first 16 years, saw myself as kind of a 'hawkish-liberal'. Jerry Falwell, Grover Nordquist and Rush Limbaugh convinced me I was a liberal Democrat

'72 Nixon
'76 Carter
'80 Anderson
'84 Reagan
'88 GHW Bush
'92 WJ Clinton
'96 WJ Clinton
2000 Gore
2004 Kerry
2008 Obama
2012 Obama
2016 HR Clinton
