I was also for Dean in 2004 (Kerry in the GE), for Hillary in the 2008 primaries (Obama in the GE) and Hillary all the way in 2016!

My voting history goes back farther than that: McGovern in 72 - all the way; Carter in 76 & 80; Mondale in 84; Dukakis in 88; Clinton in 92 & 96 and Gore in 2000.

It would go back even farther. But I wasn't able to vote in the 1964 election. 21 was the voting age then and I only turned 21 in Dec 1964, after leaving the country to serve in the Peace Corps. I wasn't able to vote while I lived abroad and didn't return until 1970. So 1972 was the FIRST Presidential election I was able to vote in.

Because I wasn't able to vote in 1964 and 1968 due to circumstances beyond my control, I have always prized my right to vote and have never failed to exercise it responsibly.

I thought HRC was the best qualified candidate I had seen in my lifetime until Elizabeth Warren. They have much more in common than Elizabeth has with ANY of the other candidates running.

Hillary would have made an outstanding President. I am confident that Elizabeth will make an outstanding President.

If she gets the chance to.
