I've been voting since 1976, so I've picked the winner more than once. I did my first time voting in 1976, then in 1992 and 1996. And now again in 2008!

I think one of the reasons Florida went blue is because a lot of older people decided to go blue this time.
You have a slight head start on me. I've been voting since 1982, starting with the mid-term election that year.
I did pick a winner in 1976... Carter... but that was in a 7th grade class vote (Carter -vs- Ford) :)

I started voting alternative in 92. I did vote against Bush/Cheney in 2004 by using Kerry/Edwards when we were trying to get the neo-cons out of the White House.

This time, I voted for Obama. He made some campaign promises that impressed me and I know that I can't hold him to them unless he gets elected.
Any Dem that made it to the White House since 1968 has gotten my vote ... and I have not missed a General Election in that whole time. In 2004, I predicted that Barack Obama would be our next President.

As for the people of Florida ... actually, it was more than just the "older people" Will. I was there and we had so many young people that weren't even old enough to vote yet, volunteering door to door and on the phones. ... college students holding their own rallys at the various colleges ... people from all walks of life ... every color of the rainbow ... and more republicans than I have ever seen ... campaigning and voted for this man. These people were going to make sure that their votes were counted.

Treva ... you have a right to get choked up and let your eyes get moist and blurry ... cause ... for the first time in your life, you have seen what happens when the people take back their country in a peaceful and truely democratic way. They spoke ... and their vote were definitely counted this time ... :D
