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 1972: Nixon 1976: Ford 1980: Reagan 1984: Reagan 1988: Bush 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 1968: Nixon 1972: Nixon 1976: Carter 1980: Carter 1984: Reagan 1988: Bush 1992: Bush 1996: Dole 2000: Bush 2004: Kerry 2008: McCain
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. 1936: Roosevelt 1940: Roosevelt 1944: Roosevelt 1948: Truman 1952: Stevenson 1956: Stevenson 1960: Kennedy 1964: Johnson 1968: Humphrey 1972: McGovern 1976: Carter 1980: Carter 1984: Mondale 1988: Dukakis 1992: Clinton 1996: Clinton 2000: Gore 2004: Kerry 2008: Obama
