In extremely good health to be born in 1903 and live to at least 1984.

Very conservative Republican. Residing probably in something like Missouri or Kansas. Most likely Protestant. Unsure of ethnic background.

Person B:
1924 LaFollette
1928 Smith
1932 Roosevelt
1936 Roosevelt
1940 Roosevelt
1944 Roosevelt
1948 Wallace
1952 Stevenson
1956 Stevenson
1960 Kennedy
1964 Johnson
1968 Humphrey
1972 McGovern
1976 Carter
1980 Anderson
1984 Mondale

Very liberal Democrat. Probably resides in Minnesota, Massachusetts, Chicago, or NYC. I'd say probably an Irish Catholic, or maybe a Scandinavian.

Could have gone many ways with the specifics, but these are my best hypotheses.

close enough. Person A I had living somewhere in the midwest where they are far south enough to be tempted to vote for a reactionary or isolationist and far south enough not to be a NPL/Farmer Labor/Prog, but far north enough not to be a dixiecrat. Probably lives in SWMO, East Central IL, Indiana.

person B I had as a liberal jew living in NY and then maybe in SoFl later on

Person A is more than likely southern based on the vote for Wallace in '68.

Person A seems like he could be from the traditionally Republican-voting eastern Tennessee.
