Dad
My dad's fairly moderate and says that he doesn't vote for any particular party... however, he always votes for a Democrat. He didn't vote during the 80's, but I doubt he'd have voted for Reagan as he is often critical of him. My dad's favorite President of all time is Bill Clinton, and he still misses him. However, he is also a big fan of Obama and will be voting for him this year.
1976: Carter
1980: Carter
1984: Did not vote.
1988: Did not vote.
1992: Clinton
1996: Clinton
2000: Gore
2004: Did not vote.
2008: Obama

Mom
She is the exact opposite of my dad. She prides herself on being an arch-conservative and she hates the Democratic party. Actually, she is rather moderate on a few social issues and supports measures like gun control. Go figure. Oh yes, she loves George W. Bush too.
1984: Reagan
1988: Did not vote.
1992: Bush
1996: Did not vote.
2000: Bush
2004: Bush
2008: McCain

Grandfather
Very conservative and hasn't voted a Democrat since John F. Kennedy. He isn't a Republican, he just doesn't like the Democratic Party at all. This began during the Johnson administration and hasn't abated since. I do want to make a note that he, like my Grandmother, voted for Kerry in '04 due to their dislike of George W. Bush.
1956: I have no clue.
1960: Kennedy
1964: Goldwater
1968: Nixon

1992: Perot
1996: Dole
2000: Bush
2004: Kerry
2008: McCain

Grandmother
She, like my grandfather, is pro-Republican, though she has been sympathetic to a couple of Democrats over the years. For example, she is very religious and voted for Jimmy Carter because she said he was a "good Christian man." She really disliked George W. Bush and was a huge Kerry supporter in 2004, which surprised me to say the least. Today, though, she is staunchly anti-Obama.
1960: Kennedy
1964: Johnson

Great-Grandmother
My great-grandmother is a staunch Democrat who has never voted Republican in her entire life. She still looks up to Franklin Roosevelt and is one of the few old-style New Deal Democrats around. Sadly, I do not believe she is healthy enough to vote this year, but she'd vote Obama if she could.
