Our family divisions and choices. Yours?
This doesn't mean anything but I just like numbers. These numbers include the votes (some already made, some to come) of our family: siblings, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, in-laws, 99-year-old mother, living in Texas, Georgia, Colorado, New Mexico and West Yorkshire. I'm not including the one in Texas who is still a British citizen or the two who live in the U.K., one a U.S. citizen, one a Brit. I'd like to know how other families divided.

Obama 6 (5 GA, 1 NM)
HRC 1 (NM)
Huckabee 8 (2 GA, 6 TX)
McCain 1 (NM)
Romney 1 (GA)
None 1 (CO)

1. Mine:
Me -- Obama
Wife -- Hillary
Mom -- Romney
Mother-in-law -- Hillary

That's all I've asked about. Dad and I have a no-political-discussion treaty.

2. The only ones I know:
Mother-HRC
Me-the Democratic nominee
My husband-if HRC gets it, he says he'll vote McCain. I'm still working on him to at least vote third party if HRC gets the nod.

6. My Family Tree...
Me - Obama
Husband - Obama
Brother - Obama
Sister-in-law - Obama
Mom - Obama
StepDad - Obama
StepMom - McCain
Mother in Law - Huckabee
Father in Law - Huckabee

3 Sis-in-laws & spouses - 6 Huckabee Votes
2 Step-Sisters & spouses - 4 Obama Votes
1 Step-Sister & spouse - McCain

No HRC votes in the family.. but we're in the midwest, and she doesn't have a lot of love here.

7. mine
Obama 5 (4 CO, 1 HI)
Romney 2 (CA)

Independents and no vote 2 (CO)


I'm hoping to make my Mom's Romney vote into an Obama vote come November (if Obama wins the nomination). Otherwise, she might abstain since she hates McCain and Clinton.

and the independents will vote with the democrat - Obama or Clinton.
