TF2 Characters:

The American classes:

Scout - Assuming he isn't apolitical, I can see him as being a Rockefeller Republican. His mother is a rather conservative-looking housewife, and knowing how big of a Momma's boy Scout is, he most likely lets his mother influence his political views. He MIGHT have voted for Humphrey in 1968, but chances are he voted for Nixon instead. If he bothered to vote in a primary, it would be for Rockefeller. Unless he becomes more liberal or less dependent on his mother by the time of Mann vs Machine, he most likely voted for Nixon again in 1972.

Engineer - The Engineer is your average blue collar southern man. Well, apart from having 11 PhDs. He is very likely to be a conservative Blue Dog Democrat. Since he appears to be rather racially tolerant, it is unlikely would support Wallace in 1968. As such, I think he would vote for Humphrey in 1968 but definitely would vote for Nixon rather than McGovern in 1972.

Soldier - I am not even sure he can read. If he can, he probably doesn't leave his apartment to vote. He is too stupid and insane to participate in regular politics.

The European Classes:

The Heavy: The Heavy is far more intelligent than he appears in the game, but remember that the Soviet Union is a one-party dictatorship, so no meaningful elections take place there. The Heavy's father was a counter-revolutionary, so it is likely Heavy and the surviving members of his family are the same. That could mean they are Tzarists, Mensheviks, Liberals, or even the wrong kind of Marxist, but he is definitely not in favor of the current Soviet regime.

The Medic:  Valve has confirmed he is not a Nazi, so that possibility is threatened out. I'd say Medic's political views depend on his religious views. He hails from a small rural Bavarian town named Rottenburg, so it is very likely he might be a conservative Catholic. If that is the case, he might be one of the remnants of the Zentrum Partei or part of the CDU. If he is Jewish or Atheist, he is more likely to be a member of the SPD. Again, I believe the Medic's religious views would be largely determined by his religion.

The Demoman: Demoman is always drunk in-game, but he is sometimes sober in the comics, but even then it's rare. I am not sure that he really cares about politics. In one of his Domination lines, he does insult the Heavy by calling him a "bloody Bolshevik," so there is that.

The Spy: I think the Spy - *backstabbed*

Unknown:

The Pyro: We'll never know. He/she/it would probably burn the ballot booth.

This is so embarassing to say, but since I've been playing the Hamtaro games...

Title Character: Non-voter, he doesn't like to make enemies.
Boss: Democratic, he's a field hamster; therefore homeless.
Snoozer: Slept through the election.
Bijou: Can't vote due to being French.
Oxnard: Food-loving dumb fat guy. Republican
Pepper (Not a main cast member, but she marries Oxnard at the end of the series): She's a farmer, and either one of the last Dixiecrats or just recently switiched parties.
Howdy: If you thought Republicans were messed up now, wait until this guy's bad jokes join the party.
Dexter: Since he likes to compete with Howdy, and is more of an intelectuall, he's a Democrat.
Pashmina: Dexter and Howdy are rivals for her affection, but she has no strong feelings for either of the two. Once debate season starts she'll make up her mind.
Penelope: Can't vote due to being a baby.
Maxwell: The resident know-it-all will vote for the person, not the platform. He would care about politics the most out of all the Ham-Hams.
Panda: He likes to fix and build things. Both parties would desire his skills at construction, and whichever one approaches him first would get his vote.
Cappy: His owners spoil him, so he probably votes for whoever they endorse. He probably had an Obama sticker lining his giant cage.
Sandy: She's in love with Maxwell, so she votes with him.
Stan: Stan would say he votes against Maxwell, but his sister Sandy would "correct" him
Jingle: He has no residence, so he probably can't vote. He would vote Libertarian since he likes to travel the world writing poetry, and would support free boarders. He would probably write the wrong name down given how bad he is with names.

Following on from the previous post, let's try another beloved British show - Coronation Street. I haven't watched it regularly in years, so some of these characters may no longer be in it.

Deirdre - Labour
Blanche - UKIP
Peter - Labour
Tracy - Conservative or non-voter
Gail - Swing voter. Labour 1997-2005, Tory in 2010.
David - Non-voter (likely sympathetic to Russell Brand's ideas)
Nick - Conservative
Sarah - Labour
Martin - Labour
Audrey - Was once a Conservative councillor
Jack and Vera - Labour
Mike Baldwin - True Blue Conservative
Rita - Labour
Norris - Conservative
Emily - Lib Dem
Betty - Labour
Roy and Hayley - Green

Liz - Labour
Jim - DUP
Sally Webster - Conservative
Kevin Webster - Labour
Dev - Conservative

Jason - Labour
Todd - Labour

Do you think the Dursleys would still be Tories, or do you think they would have joined the UKIP bandwagon?

Frank Costanza: Republican, fought in Korea and generally appears to be conservative
Estelle Costanza: Republican
Helen Seinfeld: Democrat, typical New Yorker who retires to Florida
Morty Seinfeld: Democrat, see above
Susan Ross: Republican, has a wealthy background and a seemingly successful business career
J. Peterman: Democrat, probably a bleeding heart liberal

The Walking Dead, Season 1 (video game):

I'll just stick to the main characters.

Lee Everett: Democrat or Independent. (Even that would probably be up to the player's choice.)
Clementine: Too young to vote/care
Duck: Also too young to vote/care.
Larry: Republican, probably of a neocon flavoring.
Lily: Most likely Republican, likely has similar views to her father.
Kenny: Independent or Republican, seems like he would be either in the Tea Party or the social conservative camp.
Katjaa: Might be apolitical about her politics due to her Belgian nationaly; I don't think the game lets us know if she is a naturalized US citizen or not. Assuming she is and is political, she might be a liberal due to her European roots and uncomfortable attitude regarding guns.
Carley: Maybe a Democrat, but I only guess that since she's a journalist. However, she might be very moderate or might even be Independent or Republican since she very willingly carries a gun around.
Doug: Most likely Libertarian due to his IT background.
Omid: Democrat. (I'd heavily bet on it since he's from San Fransisco.)
Christa: Democrat. (Same reason as Omid.)
Herschel: I'll go with Wolverines34's judgement.
Ben: Unless he's 18, he is too young to vote. He is most likely a Democrat or Libertarian due to his age, but since he is from Stone Mountain, he might be an Atlanta Metro Republican.

Gale is the name.  When he is first introduced he mentions that he is a libertarian and after he is dead his cookbook is searched and there is a Ron Paul '08 sticker on one of the pages.

Mad Men

There are few characters that have displayed overt political philosophies, and a number of them which I assume may be a political. Given their residence in New York, their vote narrows it down. Went with '64, and pointless not to include primaries--though that does mean there'd be an NY primary, and I don't believe there was. Tongue 1960 would be interesting as well.
Don Draper: Didn't vote. Seems to be a political.
Bertram Cooper: Goldwater - Ayn Rand fan!
Roger Sterling: Rockefeller - When he hears about Rocky's divorce, he's pretty upset that all they have left is Goldwater.
Peter Campbell: Rockefeller - Comes from money. Only clue.
Peggy Olson: Goldwater - Only one clue with this one, where she says in Season 4 that she'd like to have worked for the Goldwater campaign.
Paul Kinsey: Johnson - Got all "New Left" on us in Season 2 and went to register African-American voters in Mississippi with his African-American girlfriend.
Betty Draper/Francis: Rockefeller - Indicated a preference for Nixon in 1960, plus by Season 4 she's seeing someone working for Rockefeller. Best guess here.
Henry Francis: Rockefeller - Duh! Works for Governor Rockefeller and later "the Congressman", John Lindsay running for Mayor.
Stan Rizzo: Johnson - He worked for the Johnson campaign, of course.

I should do 1960... Also, apparently the most recent season goes up to '68, so maybe we'll see that.


Peggy had a JFK picture in her apartment. Pretty sure she was a Democrat, she just said that in regard to business.
