How many in your extended family voting for Kerry?

[featherman]

This would include, I suppose, grandparents, aunts, uncles, parents, siblings and their spouses, spouses, ex-spouses, children, stepchildren, grandchildre, nieces and nephews (whew).
Mine (for Kerry): mother, aunt, one single brother (and his 2 ex-wives), two married brothers and both their spouses, two sisters and both of their spouses, my spouse, my ex-spouse, my four children (one spouse and 3 significant others), my spouse's four children (all unattached), two nephews
(total of 29)
Mine (for Bush): zero, nada, nobody - (total of 0)
Mine (not voting): four nephews (weird religious deal) (total of 4)

[flamingyouth]

1. My family is only my parents and me

All three for Kerry, no doubt about it.

[childslibrarian]

2. My record is not as good

For Kerry--10
For Bush--5

[cynatnite]

3. not many for Kerry

Hubby and I, oldest daughter, one uncle and in-laws. Far as I know that's it. Rest are going for the shrub :(

Cyn

[adamrsilva]

4. Me, my two bros, and my Repub Dad

A lot of co-workers I know though are definitely voting for Kerry.

[teach1st]

5. Just one hold out for Bush in my family...

My daughter's husband is the holdout, but he's thinking seriously about not voting for Bush. He won't vote for Kerry, though.

[name not needed]

6. Most of them

I don't know how many exactly. Probably at least 20 people.

[Dem_4_Life]

7. Of the ones I know of

Mom, Grandparents (former * supporters), and myself=4
Dad (Oil Business what do you expect), Step-mom, Aunt and Uncle=4

[skippysmom]

8. Most of them

For Kerry: me, my husband, both of my parents, my brother in law, and my mother in law.

For Bush: my father in law and my grandmother in law. One loves his guns, the other loves Jesus.

[lancdem]

9. Let's see

Me, my parents, my aunt and uncle and their three daughter are all for Kerry.

[Psst_Im_Not_Here]

10. Not too bad

Kerry -8
Bush-2

[VirginiaDem]

11. approximately %85 for Bush (eom)

[MrSlayer]

12. Plus Two overall.

Me - Kerry
My Wife - Kerry
Mom - Kerry
Dad - Bush
Brother - Bush
Brother's Wife - Kerry (Though she'll tell him she voted for Bush.)

[TaleWgnDg]

13. my parents are in their 90s and they will be voting for

John Forbes Kerry; my 3 adult children plus one spouse are all voting for John Forbes Kerry; of my two siblings, one is definitely a Kerry backer while the other is the only "red stater" in the family!

so the count is: 8 for Kerry (including myself), 1 for Bush

:kick: :kick: :kick:

[phish420]

14. All but 2

As far as I know, all but 2 of my relatives are voting for Kerry...My aunt and her husband are nery conservative so-called 'pro-small business' republicans (they like to insist that Democrats hate small business or something). Oh, yeah, my dad too...I forgot I just found out he is supporting Bush and even CAMPAIGNING for Bill McCullum for Senate (UGH!)...but my mom, atleast 3 of my aunts, my grandmother and 2 cousins I know are voting for Kerry. Oh, and of course I will be voting for JFK as well.
My family totals:
Bush: 3
Kerry: 8

[phish420]

19. In all fairness

I guess I should include my dads family in all fairness..technically they are not related to me, since he married his wife after I turned 18 and moved out, but they are a very wealthy family (compared to me anyways)...they own a large RV Dealership, and the owner, my step-grandfather has a net worth in the millions. I dont think I have to state the obvious, but will anyways: They are very republican and are responsible for the brainwashing of my father who WAS a democrat for as long as I knew him...amazing what $$ can do to a man. In all, I can think of at least 6 Pro Bush people in that family...I try not to go around them too often, as I feel an extreme anxiety and desire to just debate them into the night...which I would be more than happy to do, but I dont for my dad. While I (now) disagree with him politically, I do love him and he stresses out REAL bad when shit goes down between his in laws and myself, so I try to just stay away, but my opinions are DEFINATELY known when I am around them. They are the only members of my 'extended family' that doesnt know that I am a gay man...half of them would have instant heart attacks. They are, as a group, the Anti-Scott...the exact opposite of me, and it drives me crazy to even be around them and have to listen to their words of hate, bias, discrimination and bigotry. It sickens me to see them drive around in their gas guzzling SUVs (and Every Damn One of them has one)...
Anyways, they are a strong political group with a LOT of clout in their small town in central florida.

[roguevalley]

15. all of them, all 14.

[ogradda]

16. let's see....

my mother, uncle, aunt, brother, myself and daughter 6 votes for kerry, then aunt, son and nephew 3 votes for bush :(

[Bertha Venation]

17. 6 for Kerry, 1 for Bush

My sisters, my dad, my uncle & his wife, my brother-in-law (Mrs. V.'s brother) for Kerry.

My brother-in-law (my sister's husband) for Bush.

Unknown: Mrs. V.'s parents, niece, and nephew; my stepmother.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

18. Everyone I know of

That would be ten people. One brother I'm not in touch with. A sister voted for Nader last time and, though that's not the reason why, we haven't talked much since. I was raised Dem and to the best of my knowledge no one in my family is voting for Bush.

Most of my neighbors in my building, too. I got my photo of Kerry/Edwards from the DNC and saw that a number of others received theirs as well. :)

[Indiana_Dem]

20. 15 for Kerry my side of the family (not a big family)--

my husband's I'm not so sure:

2-4 no voters probably

2 unknown but will vote

4 Bush (religious part of my husbands family in Grand Rapids)

[LisaL]

21. Everybody in my family.

We all will vote for Kerry.
Last time, we all voted for Gore.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

22. Kerry Votes: 7/8

Kerry Votes:

Me, and my wife (2, TX)
My parents (2, MD)
My sister and her husband (2, CA)
Mother in law (1, CA)

Shrubya votes:

Grandmother in law (1, CA), if she votes at all.


So, 7/8 Kerry votes (I'm not 100 percent certain on all of these but fairly sure). But all in solid Dem or Repub states, so none "count" for much under our screwy system. But we're voting anyway.

[Zero Division]

23. I'd have to guess for some, but overall my guess is most for Kerry

On my father's side (he has 7 siblings) I feel confident that at least 3 households (one is definite--he's involved with his local Democratic party) will vote Kerry. I can't imagine any of them voting Bush. My paternal grandmother is almost certainly voting Kerry, as well.

Mother's side: one definite household for Bush (Reagan-worshipping Christian fundamentalists...enough said); another unknown; and third most likely for Kerry, but not entirely certain. Maternal grandmother will probably not vote (socially conservative Catholic--extremely pro-life Southern traditionalist, but doesn't like Bush).

[BillZBubb]

24. Too many Pugs'

Two thirds Bush*, one third Kerry. I only like one third of my extended family (seriously!!!). Can you guess which third?

[gardenista]

25. All.

2 parents (dad is registering voters in conservative Placer County, CA)
1 sister (also working on the campaign full time, starting next week)
2 bros
1 soon-to-be-ex brother-in-law (I'm holding him to at least *that* promise!)
my husband is a french citizen, so can't vote. yet.
2 aunts
1 nephew in the navy

and, of all of my 16 clients, only one couple is voting bush.

of my 3 employees, all are voting kerry.

of my 40+ colleagues in a professional org., I think perhaps 1 or 2 are Bushies.

Whew! That feels GOOOOOOOD!

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

26. Re: "How many in your extended family voting for Kerry?"

Husband: Kerry
Parents: Kerry
Siblings: As far as I know, Kerry
Brother-in-Law: unsure; he claims to be a libertarian
Father-in-Law: Kerry
Grandparents: Kerry, if they're able to get to the polls
Aunts and Uncles: Kerry
Niece: Too young to vote (only 3,but if she were older, I'd hope, Kerry!)

[OHswingvoter]

28. My ex-wife

and her shiny new husband are republican of course so that is 2

My 3 children who mostly have been raised by the ex are are voting republican that is 3.

One has a spouse and she and her family are republican that is 5.

I am voting Kerry that is one.

I have a brother and sister who are undecided that is two undecided.

I have a sister and parents who are dead I miss them because they would have voted democratic.

That is 10 republican, 1 Kerry and 2 undecided.

[redstateblues]

30. My ex wife and my current wife are both voting for Big John

[SayitAintSo]

27. 3-4 out of eight and maybe a little higher

That's up from 2 out of eight from past elections 2000, 2002.

[Minimus]

29. my mom voting for first time!!

she wants bush out.

We are southern democrats - Quakers

Kerry:
me,husband,mom,dad,uncle (his first time voting in 20+ years),1 sister,2 nephews, 2 nieces

Bush:
2 bro n laws(jerks!)

both my sisters married repubs! daddy should cut them out of the will!

one sister not voting cause her husband supports bush and she won't vote against him. wimp!

[stevedeshazer]

31. 7-3-2

Seven Kerry, three *Bush, two too stupid to vote at all despite many attempts to motivate.

Small family.

[TSIAS]

32. Most everyone

My Mom, my Dad, my 2 cousins, my grandmother, my 2 aunts, my 2 uncles. Only my other Aunt will be voting for Bush.

[mbee]

33. Kerry voters, husband, son, father, mother, mother-in-law, uncle-in-law,

brother, sister-in-law, sister, brother-in-law. Inlaws of my sister wer 2000 Bush voters switching to Kerry because they are ticked about the Iraq War. We have two other pug friends voting Kerry because of the economy. NICE! If we can get the paper trails on the touch-screens Kerry will get a landslide!

[imax2268]

34. Everyone in my family is voting for Kerry...!

[AntiCoup2K4]

35. The only relative who ever defended Bush was my brother...

... but he's an asshole anyway. And even looks a little like Junior, actually :scared:

The rest of the family is firmly against the idiot son of an asshole. :)

[tibbir]

36. My family can't figure out how I turned out being progressive

because they are all very conservative. Bush votes include my mother, my brother (Fox is his news channel of choice), eight cousins, two aunts, two uncles. Kerry votes include me, my son and my ex-husband if he can get off his lazy butt and go the polls.

[barb162]

37. none

I am the only Democrat and they can't figure out why.

[WyLoochka]

38. at least 15 nt

[Bush was AWOL]

39. My entire family will be voting for Kerry

Come from a family with union and teamster ties, and I've been bred to hate repubs since I was a little kid and Ronald Reagan fucked my dad.

[Kazak]

40. All of them, that I know of...

I lost count.

[kevin881]

41. well... 8 total

both my parents, my two brothers, their wives and my wife are all voting kerry. Including met that makes 8 for kerry, zero for BC

[cynthia]

42. mostly Kerry

Kerry-12
Bush -2
Not voting - 1 (politics is for hypocrites, he says!)

[struggle4progress]

43. Nobody in my extended family likes Bush. One of them did vote ...

... for a Republican about fifty years ago, though.

[Piperay]

44. Only me, my father and my brother

I have no other family anymore, besides wherever the hell they are they are voting for chimp cause they are repuklicans. x(
