    Born in 1971. I went with my parents to vote in 1976 & they had a toy voting machine so I could vote for Ford. First election I really knew what was going on was 1980, at the height of the Iranian hostage crisis, malaise, stagflation, the Soviets in Afghanistan.https://twitter.com/emilybrooksnews/status/1226562919397298178 …

    What is your first childhood memory of a presidential campaign and being aware of the candidates running? Mine is the 2000 general election, SNL's Al Gore "lockbox" spoof. Not sure I remember hearing about a primary candidate who didn't win the nomination before 2008.

        I remember spouting off George McGovern was an “SOB” (having absolutely no idea what the acronym meant, but, having read it in Reader’s Digest, figured - wrongly - it was safe for a 12-yr-old to use in the presence of his staight-laced parents.); also their relief that Nixon won

        Just think if Ford would of won in 76 there would likely be no Reagan in 1980. No conservative movement just a bunch of Rockefeller Republicans.

        I was born in 1973 and had a politically active family, but the first election I remember thinking about on my own was 1980.

        1960 JFK vs Nixon-my parents were small business owner Republicans.

        Bit younger. My first election memories were of 1984: watching the news with my dad all year, going to vote with him and enjoying my first taste of champagne that night as the returns came in.

        I remember Nixon's reelection and being confused why we would need to say that the President is the President again.
