My family just voted together (except my oldest in Massachusetts and my middle son in s different district). I'm not sure how the oldest voted. He has been generally conservative and admired Mitt, but he made noises about Obama when we visited him last month.
My middle boy has been touting Hillary over Obama, but may have just been pulling my chain. He is a self-proclaimed gay man, but has been re-exploring that issue since he was in Japan and is attending an Evangelical church. Even before that he was surprisingly conservative for a gay man (even to the point of opposing gay marriage). But I don't see him voting Huckabee or McCain. So he may be a vote for the Her Royal Clinton-ness.
As for the other five of us, we all just went en masse to the polls and voted for Barak across the board. My eldest daughter (who has posted on this forum occasionally as kin2straypooch) is a flaming liberal lesbian. But surprisingly, she is scared to death of Hillary Clinton. She voted Barack. My youngest boy (who I used to call straypup, but that term is hardly sensible anymore as he is 19) voted Barak for the same reason I did. (Just a minute, I'll get to that.)
My youngest daughter, who is just barely old enough to vote in the primary (17, but will turn 18 before the general election) voted for Barak as well. Her reason? "Sanity," she tells me. "Other than Voldemorte, Obama is the only sane candidate!" She likes to joke a lot (can't imagine where she gets it) but she has spent almost two years preparing herself for this and I am very proud of her.
As it happens, both my eldest daughter and my youngest son were also first time voters today. I'm surprised my eldest daughter (26) hasn't voted until now, but it was kinda neat to have us go as a family to the polls.
My wife voted for Obama because she feels that Barak is a leader, and everybody else left in the race is just a politician. She is a middle-of-the-road voter, and may have voted either way. But she was so turned off by the Evangelical rejection of Mitt over religion that she stated she would not reward the Republican Party for bigotry.
Finally, the Pooch. In spite of the fact that I voted Democrat in the last governor's race, I am not switching sides. I just realized that I had the choice as a Republican to vote for the presumptive nominee, who I do not support, or Huckabee, who I would not support for the same reason as my wife. It's a shame really. Huck is the only candidate who supports the fair tax and he is at least a social conservative. He would be right in line to get my vote, but his candidacy just doesn't pass the smell test. I feel like a Latter Day Saint voting for Huckabee would be like an African-American voting for David Duke. McCain will probably get my vote by default in November. Though I have some questions about his tactics, I can certainly vote for a former POW and war hero. Unlike many conservatives, I don't get too bent out of shape over his compromise positions and maverick reputation. Actually, those are selling points to me. But in this election, my son and I both felt that a vote for McCain was not likely to have the slightest effect (though Huck might win in this state). McCain will be the nominee for the Republicans however we voted today.
But the Democratic race is up in the air. It's still pretty likely that Hillary will win the nomination, but it wouldn't break my heart to see Obama get the nod. As such, if a few votes as a Hillary spoiler gets the job done in Virginia, I can live with that. Further, if there must be Dem in the White House next year, I'd rather it be the "sane" one. So my vote for Barak was one of practicality. In November, I'm red again (unless Huckabee becomes the VP nominee). But for now, I'll vote as an ABC voter.
