George McGovern was the first person I voted for for President - and until 2004, the vote that I was most emotionally attached to and happiest to have cast.

As others noted, there are so many things that were the same as JK. One difference that made the loss even harder was that, in spite of the uneven playing field, 2004 was so very close.
