How has your family voted?

[Miles]

Dad- A lifelong Republican in the mold of John Chafee or Nelson Rockefeller. He voted voted for McCain over Bush in the 2000 primaries; ever since Bush, he's been talking about leaving the party. Voted for Obama.

Mom- Pretty centrist. Not very into politics.

Dad's parents- His mom is a liberal Democrats from Boston; despises anything and every Republican. My grandpa on this side died about 8 years before I was born. He was from West Virginia though, so I'll assume he voted Democrat as well.

Mom's parents- Great examples of Dixiecrats who never switched parties. My grandma usually laments at how "un-American" Obama is and says that Carter was the worst President ever. My grandpa on this side is somewhat to the left of my grandma though. They'll still vote for some local Democrats like Mary Landrieu.

Other than that, my extended family is staunchly Republican. My aunts love to hate Michelle Obama and the consensus among them is that Obama was born in Kenya. I consider myself Conservative Democrat, but next to them, I look like a Bernie Sanders socialist.
