2. most important, yes. Most exciting? No

The sheer sexiness and thrill of the '92 election, the on again - off again rollercoaster of Clinton's campaign, was the stuff of epics. If we win this one, it'll only be a relief.

Oh, also I got lucky the night Clinton won. Not sure what'll happen this coming year, but I'll probably have my kid with me on election night, so I know for sure what won't happen.

3. Definitely

I'm only 22, and this is by far the most exciting political season I've ever experienced. I vaguely remember '88 and '92, paid attention in '96 but didn't really care because I wasn't old enough to vote and it was obvious that Clinton would win, and had my heart broken in '00 when I cast my first ever presidential vote for Al Gore, only to see him "lose" after that insane court ruling. But this time is different because I've had my eye on Dean since the beginning and can hardly believe that my guy is really going to win. It's almost like a dream!

4. I can't remember 1992's (wasn't paying attention)..

and I was only 14 back then. And for 1996, Clinton's re-election was a foregone conclusion; I remember laughing at the GOP infighting back then.

So yes, this has been my most exciting. Not my favorite; I'd much rather be in the position we were in in 1996..

5. 1996

The one exciting moment in 1996 was when Pat Buchanan won the New Hampshire primary. I wasn't excited because I supported him, only because I couldn't believe that the Republicans might actually nominate that lunatic.

6. Most important yes, most nerve wracking yes.

Most exciting was JFK's primary run in 1960 but that was in a world long ago and far away.

7. I wouldn't really use the term "exciting"

More like "crazy-making." I'm going to die of a fucking heart attack before this thing is over.
