(1,508 posts)Clinton writes that she began to have doubts about Goldwaters politics even before she left high school, when a teacher forced her to play President Johnson during a mock presidential debate in order to "learn about issues from the other side" (page 24). Later, as a junior at Wellesley College, she writes, "I had gone from being a Goldwater Girl to supporting the anti-war campaign of Eugene McCarthy," driving to New Hampshire on weekends to stuff envelopes and walk precincts (pages 32-33). Even so, she also worked as a Washington, D.C., intern for Gerald Ford, who was then the Republican leader of the House, and she attended the 1968 Republican convention to work for New York Gov. Nelson Rockefellers unsuccessful effort to get the GOP presidential nomination (pages 34-35).
It appears even in her college years she supported republicans and I'm sure she probably voted for some of them, I mean after all why would you work for the campaign and then not vote for them?
