I have one cousin in her early 40s.  She is married, socially liberal, homeschools her kids, is a vegetarian, and a strong Obama supporter in all likelihood.

Seriously, I am like the black sheep in my family.  Tongue

None of my 30-odd cousins will vote in the US, though they would vote straight-ticket Democratic.

I can't really remember my cousins well - thankfully we do not speak.  But I think two of them are fat religious, thus Republican, while about 3 of them are normal racist dumbasses but members of unions, so who knows.  Then there are the 2 that are too cool to vote - unemployed, etc.

Yes, we're the 'rich cousins'.

Mom's Side: All of them won't vote, and that's about 14 of them.
Dad's Side: Both will vote for Obama or Hillary

Female, 20, strong Obama supporter

My cousins in South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida and Connecticut will vote for McCain. My cousins who live in D.C. will vote for Obama. They are the lone Democrats in the group.

My oldest cousin who lives in South Carolina will likely vote for McCain. I don't really know about my next oldest cousin who is at school in North Carolina - we've never really talked about political things. He may not even vote.

My other two cousins are in 6th and 4th grade.

Cousins' first names can't hurt.

Gabe: late 30s, unmarried, still in law school, Salinas (CA), very liberal: Obama
Marie: mid 20s, unmarried, graduated from college in December, San Francisco, very liberal: Obama
Natalie: late teens, college, New York City (from San Francisco), very liberal: Obama
Andrew: mid 30s, unmarried, Sacramento, isolated from the family and so otherwise I have no idea
Jessica: early 30s, married, artist, Kansas City, very liberal: Obama
Tyler: late 20s, unmarried, cartoonist, Portland (OR), very liberal: Obama
Ross: early 30s, married, social worker, Virginia Beach, centrist: Obama (?)
Erin: late 20s, unwed mother, hairdresser, Canton (OH), unknown politics: won't vote
Mary: late teens, college, Vermont (from Maine), very liberal: Obama
Alex: toddler, won't vote

I'm not in close enough contact with most to know who they voted for in the primary, although I suspect most voted for Obama if at all. My cousins are most of them civically inclined, so I expect all of those who I indicated would vote to vote.

One of my cousin's political compass score is pretty close to Hitler's, so I'm guessing he wouldn't be voting for Obama.

I have 3 first cousins.  Only one of those 3 can actually vote because he's 20 and the others are 2 lol

My 20-year-old cousin probably likes Obama and will definitely vote Democrat.  I used to follow him around like a puppy when I was a kid lol

Now that I think of it, I have American second cousins who live in Arizona, so they will probably be voting for McCain.

I've never been able to figure out Hitler's score. Huh

Same thing with my mom's sister's kids. They are now in their 30s and 40s, used to help raise me as a kid. Their parents, my aunt and uncle are reactionary baptists and will probably vote for Micky C. My wife's cousins will all probably vote for Obama.

Only three of my eight cousins are old enough to vote, all on the "Naso" side of the family. Of course, that means they trend left. I know my one cousin said she was voting for Hillary...and I am not sure about my other two. Again, with the way some people think, they may not be voting at all if the choice is an African American vs. a Republican.

Dad's Oldest Sister's sons
Both in their early to mid 20's, one just smokes pot all day, the other has a job and a functional life and stuff, but he's dumb as a stick. Neither will vote.

Dad's Younger Sister's Daughter
is one. Lean Obama, though.

Sorta the same.... Except while I loved my cousin unconditionally, he wanted to kill me lol  He tried to drown me, leave me places, beat the crap outta me....  Yeah... lol  I still love him!! *hugs her cousin*

We're on very good terms now, though.  And he doesn't remember everything he did to me as a kid lol
