thewayneEven though he is older than me by over a decade (1946 vs 1961), I WAS TWENTY-THREE YEARS YOUNGER WHEN I REGISTERED TO VOTE!
I couldn't believe it when I came across this today! He didn't register to vote until 1987 when he was 43! And I think I am pretty confident in saying I have a much more consistent voting participation record than he does as with the exception of one mid-term, I haven't missed a primary or general election since I turned 18. And the one I missed was when my dad passed away two years ago: I hadn't voted early and was out of state when the election came around.
I also came across a great quote by him, before he got serious about trying to get into office. He said "I believe the economy does better under Democrats." Well, he certainly proved that!
