When did you get interested, and do these things keep you locked on poll numbers and vote counts?

No offense to anyone, but I've never been interested in politics at all.

Well, my dad was a politics hound that sat up with his buddies...he was active...
My first election I voted for a female vice president...Ferrero so I lost...I voted for Olympia's cousin in 1988...1992 was my first win...1996 the second...I left the pres blank in 2000 I didn't really follow politics just read the results later. in 2004 I got a little more interested...I was in the 49% so dont blame me....
I got excited about the vote this year...on some important issues and races...Woo hoo go teddy strickland! Go Sharod brown!

My grandfather got me interested in politics years ago. An educated man with a very strong moral and ethical code, a man of principle. He did not like people he voted for deceiving him, so he became active in politics himself. Now i`m pretty much the same, apart from i swear a lot, and i don`t do as much rally work.

I started really paying attention to politics right after I turned old enough to vote. Which was only 2 years ago. Since then I have been getting more and more interested in it. (I guess like you.) I voted today and I felt very proud doing it.

I started getting interested when I was about thirteen. I'm sitting up tonight too.
I love talking(or arguing)about politics. It amazes my parents that a tperson as young as me can be so into politics. I love talking about it, its my favorite subject.

the presidential nominatiions used to be soooo much fun when they took the vote right on the spot and then everybody would march around yelling and singing. I really loved it. But now It's all decided before they get to the convention and all the fun is lost. I get really tired of hearing the news announcers talk the elections to death.
