That's awesome, Matt! I remember how excited I was the first time I voted. Now I wish we had more parties to choose from. :)

Congrats Matt! I remember my first presidential election I voted for Reagan back in '84...oh how young and naive I was! Wish I could take that vote back!

We have an active 3rd party here in Canada - the National Democratic Party (NDP). They're a bit more left than the Liberals, who are equated with the Democrats. It is interesting the effect that a 3rd party has in that they often force compromises especially when there's a minority government in power, as is the case now with the Conservatives in power. (Our conservatives are down-right cuddly when compared with the Republicans and the Tea-Partiers in the US, though.)The elections are a little more exciting, I find.

I have my fingers crossed up here!!

Totally cool, Matt! Congrats on your first vote! I'm planning to vote in a few hours.

The 1st time I voted it was Kennedy vs Goldwater. For a long time I lied and aid I voted for JFK, because I was embarrassed I really voted for Goldwater :-( I remember being nervous about voting the 1st time.

I'm proud of you Boyz for voting!

Hey Brad, be honest..... don't you always vote for those hunky football players over the cheerleaders? *S*

So, Brad, since I'm single, can you send me those hunky guys???

[Bill, Moderator]

So now that this has become a hunky-thread... who's hunkier? Footballers or swimmers, jocks or geeks?

Well, I certainly hope you tried to dry him off :-). It's amazing how clumsy and foolish lust can make up seem. I'm totally ga-ga over a new construction helper Chris has hired. He's perfect... Gods, I thought I was over that kind of obsession. Feels like I'm back in HS.
