how did your family members vote?

parents + aunt + uncle = 4 pennsylvanians for obama
real father = 1 texan probably for obama
racist stepmother = 1 texan for mccain

Don't know, but I'm pretty sure: McCain, McCain, McCain, Obama, No vote. Extended family: McCain^x. Me: Obama.

sis & bro-in-law for Obama -- and I think Mom too (older than McCain, recent Rachel Maddow convert); all in Connecticut

everyone else (cept cousins) is dead, so I assume they've moved to Cook County to vote.

Only one member of my family is even legally allowed to vote, and that's my sister in law. Considering she whacks my brother on the nose with a rolled up newspaper every time he says something even remotely Republican, I don't think I need to ask how she voted!

Everyone voted for Obama except for the ones with felony convictions and/or foreign citizenship.

dad - mccain
mom - likely mccain
sister - mccain
bro-in-law - mccain

all aunts & uncles & living grandparents - definitely mccain,
except for lol liberal college profs aunt & uncle.
cousins on both sides likely split down the middle.

All Obama. They always vote Dem except for my crazy aunt who voted for Perot that time.

locations: TX, AL, MS, TN, NoVA, NC, GA

x-post

dad = mccain
stepmom = mccain
mom = obama
mom-in-law = mccain
sis-in-law = mccain
dad-in-law = mccain, if he voted, which he doesn't
racist grandma-in-law = obama! thinks palin is an idiot and mccain is unstable

visiting these people in NJ over the weekend got me depressed about obama's chances but the last one gave me hope

parents: obama. i don't talk to any other family members, really, but i assume that my aunt and uncle went for obama, as did my normal cousin. i assume that my jew-for-jesus cousin is mccain all the way.

Mom, Dad, grandmother, all my cousins and great-aunts and -uncles: McCain. I dunno about my sis and bro in law.

dad - mccain
mom - likely mccain
sister - mccain
bro-in-law - mccain

all aunts & uncles & living grandparents - definitely mccain,
except for lol liberal college profs aunt & uncle.
cousins on both sides likely split down the middle.

Same here, except POSSIBLY my sister and bro-in-law's kids might be secret Obama supporters. I strongly doubt it though.

mother - McCain

"Obama is too liberal. He voted against the war."

If anyone in my entire family didn't vote for Obama, I will be shocked and amazed.

mom and sis: O
dad: it is a mystery! (he's a libertarian \(o_°)/ )
extended-dad: O, probably
extended-mom: lol u guyz can't vote ur irish!

my whole mom's side + my dad= def obama
my dad's side= mccain

My family are all reliable Obama voters, no matter on which side or how far out you travel.

Mom said she was going to vote at the Methodist church which is our polling station after she finishes work at 6. A lot of people in my family are at that vulnerable age where the OMG I'm rich and the government wants my money hypnosis really takes hold.

Mom: McCain, finally, see threads passim.
Sister: probably McCain, she hates politics and does what is told to by mom.
BIL: McCain. I never had a snowball's hope for him, his dad was a Michigan Militia wannabe.
Uncle 1: lifelong Dem so you'd think Obama, but I'm not sure.
Uncle 2 and aunt: are in FL. Probably McCain.
Female cousin: still has Wellstone poster in her porch, so Obama FTW - she has raised over 6k for him and maxed out her own contribution.
Male cousin: Obama. If not, the vicissitudes of our relationship dictate that I'm allowed to call him a jealous guy.

There's no-one in my family that would ever vote Republican.

At least a dozen relatives in both Maryland and Delaware, most (maybe all) of whom are voting Obama, plus one in Wisconsin also for Obama. And a a few aunts/uncles in Florida that I think are all leaning McCain.

Everyone voted for Obama except for the ones with felony convictions and/or foreign citizenship.

:(

I put the and/or in there so folks would think maybe you had both.

I have a plethora of second cousins in America who are all staunch Obamaites as far as I know, which is useful as they're mostly in Pennsylvania.

well, if i had one of those i wouldnt be here to not vote to start with. you know what i mean.

you forgot the one thats underage and i might point out that we three are the coolest family members so there

XP

Underage voter would select candidate most resembling DJ Lance Rock.

So either Obama or Palin.

everyone else (cept cousins) is dead, so I assume they've moved to Cook County to vote

And how bout that Al Capone, huh? Hope the Feds nab him.

All my family in Illinois is for Obama. Dad's religious uptight FL/NC sis and fam for McCain. Dunno bout long-time Air Forceman uncle and his fam out in CO Springs and Denver area.

gf, dad, brother, future sister-in-law: obama
gf's parents and grandparents: obama
aunts and uncles: no clue, my guess is a split down the middle
cousins: obama i think, though my chicago cop cuz might have gone mccain

mom, dad, and I voted for obama last week. sister's only 15.
don't really know about my extended family, but my mom's half is all in mexico and they all support obama.

My parents will both vote for Mccain. I don't have any other family in American and husband is resident alien so can't vote.

ilxor LXY says that this is the first time ever that her whole family voted the same way. 3 UT for obama, 2 FL for obama, 3 WA for obama. pretty awesome.

x-post My Mccain loving parents are in NY.

Yeah my entire Obama-voting family is in Texas so not so helpful for the greater cause.

dad - watches fox news, owns numerous firearms
mom - will vote for whoever makes dad happy
bro 1 - constitutional law class taught by prof. obama
bro 2 - swindled dad into paying $500 so he could attend O fundraiser
nephew - 2 y.o. but eats tofu and frequents starbucks

bro 2 - swindled dad into paying $500 so he could attend O fundraiser

sweet

My mom's side of the family is HUGE and probably like 90% democrats (seriously, my mom's family probably single-handedly put the F in DFL).

My dad's people are all republicans (Rochester based), but luckily there's only a few of them

All my in-laws and close friends are solid for Obama

Obama across the board + probably mostly Dems/Greens in the other races

I'm hoping my parents voted yes on Michigan Proposition 1

I know I did.

All Democrat across every ticket, except my brother, who voted entirely Republican.

Is your brother Michael Keaton?

alex p. keaton?

Haha, yeah that too.

he liked reagan LOL

Mom--O but would have preferred HRC.
Sis--O (has given $ & time)

Other relatives, most likely the Mac, so as not to cast a vote for a Muslim.

Mom doesn't vote
Dad and brother - O

pretty sure every last aunt/uncle/cousin voted for McCain

I am keen to hear how Papa Homosexual II voted.

my wife, sister and even my pro-business brother all went for the O. parents-in-law too and my late parents (moderate republicans) would've.

every but my brother in law who shockingly seems to have joined the "he's a muslim" crowd. really disappointed w/him.

my dad and my stepmom voted obama but they voted republican in the house race. they're in CT. everyone else living are non-vote having foreigners ;_;

My sister: Obama (but she's also in DC and there's no way DC WOULDN'T go blue)
My mother: Probably Obama (she's in Maryland which generally goes blue)

my brother called me from australia to tell me it doesn't matter who wins because we're all screwed either way. pish. economists.

My mom called me and said she voted for Obama and my dad voted for Nader so she "nullified his vote".

I called my dad last night, and he was just launching into a "well, the first time I met Obama was maybe around 2002" story when McCain started speaking and we both hopped off the phone.

So now I have to call my dad and ask him to tell me a long story about something.

I got three excited texts from my dad last night.

Everyone but mom for Obama.

My dad, brother and I were having a huge chatathon as the night went on.

Yeah, I had to keep stepping out of the bar to take excited phone calls from my pops.

nabisco did your dad use binoculars to spy on obama?

My woolen sweater wearing sister voted Obama. Mama probably Obama. Everyone else McCain I'm sure.

I guess he was seated next to him at some kind of Chicago State event, but I didn't get the rest of the story, or why the word "first" was deployed. I just hadn't ever talked about Obama with my dad before, and suddenly he was talking about him like he's known the guy since way back when.

my mother said she voted obama. my dad probably voted mccain.

keep us updated, nabisco!

i called my parents last night to see if they were awake to hear the news. they were so thrilled about obama's victory. and of course they had msnbc on in the background -- my mom is an olbermann/maddow groupie.
