My entire family has voted Democrat since we've been in the United States, with a few exceptions in a branch that identifies more strongly with a different branch of their own family than the one that I'm in (the most recent Republican candidate for Massachusetts State Auditor is actually in this branch).
Interesting! How would you describe this person's politics? Because MA Republicans, like many (most?) Republicans in the Northeast, tend to be a bit more...um...'traditionally" Republican than elsewhere in the country.
Mary's mostly a fiscally conservative technocrat type. She was on the Turnpike Commission and an ally of Romney when he was governor. Back when gay marriage was legalized she was one of the people freaking out about it but she seems to have mellowed on that since then. She has a specific (and, to be quite frank, entirely reasonable) grudge against NPR but doesn't seem to be opposed to it on principle.
