The excitement of the primaries got me thinking of the first time I ever voted, both locally and Presidential.

In 1977, the first year I was eligible to vote, I voted for Mario Cuomo against Ed Koch in the New York City Mayoralty election. Koch had beaten Cuomo in the democratic primary, but Cuomo ran against him in the general election anyway. He got his ass handed to him nearly two-and-a-half to one.

In 1980, my first Presidential vote was cast for a then 69 years young fella by the name of Ronald Reagan. In my opinion he was probably the best president that I ever cast a vote for.

Anyone remember their first time?
