OK, I've been holding off on this, but I figure the Mudcat is the best place to get this off my chest.

What I'm about to confess, I have never told anyone before in my life.
In 1968, I sob...sob... sob,actually voted for Richard Milhous Nixon.

There, I've said it, but I don't feel any better about it.

I feel there were mitigating factors. I was in Viet Nam, Booby had just been shot, and I was pretty disallussioned with everything.I was filling out my absentee ballot, and there was nobody left to vote for, but I was going to vote ,by God.

When I got back, I got Orson Welles record "The Begatting of the President" (I still have it) and smoked a lot of dope while I listened to it.

Please forgive me.
