Picture this!

It is told that my grandfather would fill out each of his 6 voting aged daughters primary election sample ballots to make sure they knew who to vote for. He would then get up very early and open the voting booth. He did not host a voting booth, he would stand at the garage door of his local polling home waiting for them to open. In essence, he would open the voting booth. First in line. A democratic vote across the board. This book would have been a great gift for him.

He passed the year Jen and I were married. He missed the Clinton years. He would have loved them. I would have heard an earful of Bush bashing for the past eight years. Not that I blame him. He was gone in 1992 when the press dubbed that election year, ‘Year of the Angry Voter’. I have a button from 1992 with that slogan. I would have to say that 2008 is also the year of the angry voter. I found this book at a local Barnes and Noble on a recent date night with my wife. It was in new condition. I paid $3.45 for it. My wife asked, why did you get that book? I said surprise! I was a life long dem before meeting you. Surprise!
