My first presidential primary vote was for Bobby Kennedy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was very political when JFK ran.
I decided that I was going to be the Kennedy who makes her own name and finds her own job and works like a dog. My comeuppance was when Arnold got elected - I became the Kennedy who was married to the governor.
I have three favorite politicians: Reagan, Truman, and Bobby Kennedy - Bobby for showing remarkable political courage despite being loathed by many on both sides.
Certainly I think the election of John Kennedy and all he stood for was one that really was an inspiration.
I'm a product of the Kennedy era. Kennedy's Inaugural plus the accident of Dean Rusk brought me into the government. Those were my values.
Once Clinton won, I started picking on him.
I could have possibly beaten Senator McCain in the primary. Then I could have been the candidate who lost to Barack Obama.
I cast my first vote on my father's lap in 1960, for Richard Nixon, in the voting booth. I was 8.
I voted for Barack Obama.
I was a big fan of Ronald Reagan. He was the first president I got to vote for.
