It occurs to me (though this is a guess) that perhaps the reason I am more obdurate than most on not voting for the DP is that unlike most of you, I really was a Democrat for a long time. I rooted for Roosevelt as a 10-year old in 1940. I gloried in his "Martin, Barton, & Fish" line in 1944; I was exuberant the day after the '48 election. I voted for Stevenson twice, then Kennedy, and then LBJ (_for_ him, not just against Goldwater). The DP was _my_ party, god dman it, or that is how I felt up to the invasion of the Dominican Republic, and the thinking I began to do just three months before my 35th birthday. I think it would be physically impossible for me to fill in a DP slot on the ballot. My muscles would freeze up.
