Lifelong Democrat, as was my father. My mom was a Hungarian immigrant (born in the U.S. so she was a citizen) who always voted Dem.

I have a confession: I did vote for one Republican, once. It was Connie Morella who was a MD Representative for many years. I never understood why she was a Republican; she often voted with Dems on progressive issues. When she lost to Chris Van Hollen, I met Chris and told him I didn't vote for him but I wished him well in Congress. He laughed and told me he didn't blame anyone who voted for Connie.
