Who are your parents supporting?

[mvd]

My mom is still a Dean supporter and is planning on voting for him even though he's no longer in the race. My dad is an Edwards supporter. I'm a Kucinich supporter, but I'm just glad that they aren't supporting Bush.

[matcom]

1. ABB

all the way baby

they voted for idiot-son the first time around :D

[mvd]

7. That's music to my ears

Give them a :toast: for me.

[Padraig18]

2. My brother likes Edwards, and my sister-in-law likes Kucinich.

Gran, alas, is a Kerry supporter...

[mvd]

9. I've gotten my grandfather to vote Kucinich with me..

in the primary. :-)

[Padraig18]

20. Cool!

I'm working on Gran... :evilgrin:

[mouse7]

3. Your parents are supporting me.

They send a fat check monthly. Tell them thanks for me. ;-)

[LastKnight]

4. ABB under threat of...

me putting them in a home when the time comes.

[Faygo Kid]

5. Mine are dead. Liked Roosevelt, though.

Maybe I am the same age (or older) than your parents. So challenge them. Ask them if they have ever seen anything like the Bush Administration (they probably remember Nixon). Then ask them to vote for the Dem candidate to get Bush the hell out of there. Please. Tell them I asked them as a fellow Boomer, respectfully.

[Blue-Jay]

6. The parents are voting Edwards in the primary.

ABB in the general.

I might just do the same....

[eyesroll]

8. My dad is undecided for the IL primary

(He may not even vote in it because he's still, technically, a registered Republican -- he registered to vote for a family friend in 1972 but hasn't voted Republican since -- and he's not sure if he can switch in time.)

My mom doesn't like to discuss her vote. She thinks even one's party affiliation should be a closely guarded secret.

That said, they both hate Shrub and are ABB for the general.

[Padraig18]

23. He can vote 'D', if he wants

Our primary is open. :)

[murielm99]

28. We have an open primary here, hon.

You just go in and ask for the ballot you want.

[eyesroll]

30. Good to know!

(and thanks, Padraig, too. Hope you're recovering nicely. :hi:)

I haven't lived in IL since I've been old enough to vote. But I'll let my dad know.

[Goldberg]

10. Both my mom and dad are supporting either

Kerry and/or Edwards. They both hate Bush, more specifically, Republicans.

[jono]

11. My parents are still supporting Bush.

(sigh)

[flamingyouth]

15. My sympathies n/t

[asthmaticeog]

12. My mom's for Edwards

My dad, if he were living, would most likely have been a Wes Clark supporter, I'd venture to guess.

[Catch22Dem]

13. I pushed Clark

I live in Okla. and had my mom and sis convinced to vote Clark. Turns out they voted Kerry at the last minute, and will definitely be supporting him in the GE. Good for them. They're smart people. I'll be doing the same.

Why the last minute change? Said they heard Kerry speaking about something or other, and that did it.

[mvd]

18. I have more good Kerry news

My aunt, who calls herself an Independent but voted for Bush and usually votes for the Republicans because she thinks they support her super-Catholic views, is supporting Kerry this time.

[bigwillq]

14. I think they're both ABB at this point

but are leaning towards Kerry. my sister is all about Kerry.
My mom supported Dean with me early on. My dad has always thought that Dean was a nutball. I guess I couldn't change his mind.

[flamingyouth]

16. Kerry

But they also like Edwards.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

17. My mom likes Bush...

Mom's a sheep and a bitch. So, it's not surprising.

[tedoll78]

19. I think Mom..

will be voting Dem this fall. She's hard to read sometimes, although she does offer a brief Bush-bash once in a while. That, and she's predicted that he won't win this year.

She was a Clinton fan. She was also a Reagan fan.

Dad's wavering. I've soiled the Bush name for him, so I seriously doubt he'll be going Bush. He might not vote again, just like in 2000. But I'll be talking-up whomever our nominee is.

They're Louisiana voters. Good swing state.

[Bluzmann57]

21. Parents are both Dems

and passed it along to their children. I'm not real sure who they support now, but it is virtually guaranteed they will vote for the Democratic nominee in November. Mother in law has never been real politically active, but absolutely despises bush, and says shes going to vote ABB in November.

[mitchum]

22. John Kerry...

Both of my parents are Democrats. However, I think my mom is a Democrat only because she hates republicans so much

[renegade000]

24. ABB

but they favor kerry

[citizen snips]

25. My whole family is supporting Edwards.

It is no surprise since we are from N.C.

[tigerbeat]

26. mom voted for kucinich in scareolina

i'm pretty sure my dad (in CA) is going to vote for the smirking chimp.

my sis voted for clark in scareolina.

i am a dean supporter leaning towards edwards for the CA primary.

[name not needed]

27. abb

hardcore liberals. my dad only voted republican once, out of spite.

[Blue_State_Elitist]

29. ...

Dad- Kerry
Mom- Kucinich
Grandma- Kerry
Grandpa- Kerry
Uncle- Kerry
Aunt- Kucinich
Cousins- Kucinich
Me- Clark now Kerry

No repukes around here.

[GhostThatWalks]

31. clark

My mom is going to vote for clark even thoghe he's not running, my dad's for dean. I too am glad that they dont support shurb.

[MercutioATC]

32. Me, my mother and father and my sister...DEAN!

Also my ex-wife and my ex-roommate.

[Liberal Christian]

33. Mom is ABB.

Dad would have supported the incumbent, but he died last November.

[MrSlayer]

34. Mom: Kerry, Dad: Bush.

I had my Dad all ready to vote for Clark but he dropped out, now he's back to Bush since he hates Kerry. Sad really. My Mom has always voted Democrat.

[NightTrain]

35. No one. My parents are both dead.

Given the current political climate and general state of the world, I almost envy them!
