This is the first time in 16 yrs my husband and I are voting for different nominees

[Shine]

I'm voting for Edwards and he is voting for Obama.

Interesting.

Are any others having the same thing happen in their families?? :shrug:

[redqueen]

1. Yup... but it's me & my sis...

I'm not positive, but I think she may be voting for Obama today... won't know for sure till I hear from her.

[Zynx]

2. Not voting today, but my family is for Clinton and all, I do mean all, of my friends are for Obama.

[Justyce]

3. Nearly all of my family members are for Edwards -- a few

for Clinton. As far as my friends and others I've talked to, nearly all were for Edwards, some for Clinton, but I have not met even a single person for Obama. As popular as he is on DU, that surprises me. Maybe it's because I live in a very blue-collar, pro-union area, which is why so many are for Edwards around here.

4. my civics teacher always said

that he voted for the secret ballot when he was asked who he voted for.

That does not work in a caucus state though :scared:

[AlCzervik]

5. my husband votes absentee so before he left again he mailed his ballot

"Who'd you vote for Hon?" "One of the democrats we sent money to" we sent money to 6 of them that was no help at all.

6. Not voting today but my 3 sisters, their husbands

their 3 adult children (5 other kids too young to vote), my mother, my brother and his wife are all voting for Obama today in CT and MA.

7. I voted Obama in CA, my wife for Edwards

We both sent in mail ballots before Edwards dropped out. She now says Obama if we had waited. Her slightly racist, ex Republican mother (84) is voting Obama in CA today. Our college student grandson, first time voter, voted Obama in CA. Also in CA two daughters and and a son-in-law voted Obama. Another son-in-law is voting McCain on the GOP side.
Another daughter never gets it together even to register but did elope to Las Vegas over the weekend and got married to a surgeon (hurray!). Her eighteen year old daughter is voting today and going for Obama.

Other family (ex-wife, my other three grown kids, brother, sister-in-law) are in Oregon and will be voting later in the season. I think my Mom (93) is voting in New Jersey today and going with Obama but likes Hillary just fine. Elderly aunt in Illinois going firmly with Obama and does not like HRC.

Brothers in Ohio and KY not voting today. All good DEMS along with their families. Ohio contingent is strong Obama but haven't talked to the Kentucky group.

Sister in CT - don't know could go either way. Her husband is a Republican

Sister in England (Americans Overseas) and husband - likely Obama

8. My whole immediate family is for Obama

and so are my grandparents, now that Edwards is out. Not sure about my extended family, but a lot of them have said pretty negative things about Bill Clinton in the past, so I'd be surprised if she gets a lot of votes from my family. My great aunt was leaning toward Hillary when I talked to her the other night, but I think I may have convinced her to reconsider. Her main reason for supporting Clinton was that she was afraid an African American couldn't be elected.

9. Well...

I voted for Edwards. Honey, mom, and sisters voted for Obama, grandmother for Hillary.

Right now, my grandmother is not speaking to us. :rofl:

[MadBadger]

10. Fine by me.

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. NOPE 2 votes for Hillary. n/t

[jlake]

12. 5 votes for Hillary!

[Onlooker]

13. First time in 25 years

My partner voted for Clinton. I voted for Obama. We were both very torn. But, we chose our candidates because we felt they would have the best shot at beating the Republican.

[Seabiscuit]

14. Nope 2 votes for Edwards. nt

[bpeale]

15. hubby & i have been married for 21 yrs ...

and this is the first time we both want the same candidate! John Edwards!!!

proudly voting Edwards today & in the general election! no one owns my vote but me!

[Shine]

16. How funny that for you it's the first time you've wanted the same one

Good for you both on voting for Edwards! :thumbsup:

:hi:

[bpeale]

19. i'm a democrat & hubby is an independent

i suspect it might be this way for a lot of independents

[Shine]

20. Well, my own mother is an independent and is going for McCain

:eyes: she's a staunch Catholic and her big wedge issue is abortion. She's extremely pro-life and so is McCain, so there ya go.... Sigh.

[bpeale]

22. all i can say (pardon my french) is WTF? it boggles the mind.

[Shine]

26. I know, I know....mine too.

and she's my own MOTHER, fer chrissakes. :eyes: Makes for awkward conversations, that's for sure. Sigh.

[scheming daemons]

17. My wife and I always vote for different candidates... She's a Republican, and I'm not...

[ZinZen]

18. Hubby and I for Obama

but my mom, who I have always been very close to voted for Hillary (she wants Bill back).

[Bucky]

21. Mom's for Hillary, Dad was for Edwards until he dropped; sister was for Obama

When Biden dropped, I moved over to Obama. Of course we're not constantly calling each other racist, homophobe, misogynist, DINO, or Muslim terrorist, so I can't say that these are well thought-through choices.

[nonconformist]

23. No... most of my family was for Edwards (a couple for Clinton)

The Edwards supporters (me and my husband included) are switching to Clinton.

[grantcart]

24. when i went canvassing on Saturday there were alot of split

families all of them Obama/Clinton husband/wife.

in San Diego

[Arugula Latte]

25. That's interesting.

Was it all males for Obama and females for Hillary, or more of a mixed bag?

[Joe the Revelator]

27. My wife and I were going Obama/Hillary in GA...but I just talked to her and...

She ended up voting Obama.

[Shine]

30. Interesting....I wonder why the last minute switch?

:shrug:

[adabfree]
