Had left college and gone to visit parents and see Europe. Had started watching the hearings in the states before going overseas on my 21st B'day at the end of May '73. Would listen on AFN with my mom, she was so utterly disgusted, she has voted nothing but Dem since (never really talked politics with her before). Proud that our Senator, Fred Harris (from my home town, was a populist candidate at one time), was on the list.

Back Obama (originally Edwards, hard to get the Okie populist out of your blood), but will vote Dem regardless. Mom (84) admitted to voting for Clinton in the OK primary, but thinks Obama might be the right choice after getting a chance to hear more about him.
