I found it especially exciting to vote the first time and have ever since, but it certainly wasn't like the first time. How sad that you didn't have that experience. Didn't your parents take you with when they voted? Perhaps that is part of what makes it a big deal for some.

I hate to tell you, but if that was your experience or the experience of the woman you were with, you did it wrong.

Are you surrounded by the grand canyon because of all that digging you are doing?

Dupes. The old definition of a demon is a rapidly moving spirit..a hyper active liberal girl with a tat on her right shoulder. Evil and stupidity are brother and sister. Why is it those with the lower IQ want to embrace and vote for Obama? If over 70% of the voters are dumb...then that means a win for Obama- One of the flaws in democracy...is the fact that the majority is always wrong...I see celebs encouraging these young people to vote...They know they are not very away and thus will vote for Obama.....

Of course you did.

How pathetic that you remember that as a highlight of your childhood and it still gets you all warm and fuzzy. Apparently it doesn't take much.

I hate to tell you that I AM a woman (I don't "do" women) , and hey, you are a little more special than anyone else I KNOW, being that you knew it all your first time around. Good for you. Why don't you write a book.

Next?

You think its pathetic when parents introduce their children to the privileges of citizenship. Didn't your school at least hold mock elections for the presidential race? Boy, I feel sorry for you if you don't get some sort of excitement out of her first voting experience. Sad really.

Both men and women do have sex as in "you did IT wrong."

Why do you assume that "knowing it all" is what would make a first time special. Your very premise is implausible actually. First time implies novice. And if you actually take the time to read my post, you'll see that I talked about "feelings" not technique.

Next?

I recall a TV ad for a hot car that was introduced as"the first time". I just can't remember the car brand, i know someone can ?This has been used many times in the AD world.
Again, not much substance, sort of like "theDonald"..just one more sign of the times. O, I forgot Glen Beck, and Sister Sara. They are back, just in time for the right wing Witch Christeen O'Donell to fly in on her broom. Hard to beleve ! But true. All women should be aware they are in the sites of these tea party types, barefoot and Prego that's the way to treat women in Romney world. Just turning back the clock about 100 years.One day all women will join in mass and take over getting their human rights back.

And he wasn't the first either. "Virgin voters" appeared in the English magazine Punch in 1929, for example.
