I don't know as well as Family Guy but I could provide some insight:

Homer - Giuliani
Marge - Hillary
Lisa - Hillary (strictly for the feminist aspect)
Bart - Ron Paul
Mr. Burns - John McCain

I have a feeling Bart would write-in Mickey Mouse before voting for any actual candidate.

Only Homer and Marge are old enough to vote. Homer doesn't bother because he thinks voting is for losers. Even Marge probably only votes in the general.

Homer: Wouldn't vote.
Marge: Would vote Democratic in the General (she was part of the Carter administration after all Wink); probably for Hillary in the Primary.
Lisa: Certainly a leftist (anti-war, pro-environment, etc.);  Democratic or Green in the General depending on circumstance; not sure about the Primary.
Bart: Wouldn't vote.

Hell, I remember one episode where Homer said "America, take a look at your candidates!". That pic must be in any political junkie's collection of political cartoon material. And I remember when Perot punched his hat and ranted. The poor guy that said "well, I think I'm going to vote for a third party" and the 2 aliens say "go ahead, waste your vote. jajaja". Memories!

Homer would vote for which candidate endorsed this platform:

"Old people don't need love and attention, they need to be isolated so that their nutrients can be put to our personal use"

So in other words, Ron Paul.

Bravo. One quick correction, shouldn't Krusty be voting for a Republican? He did run for Congress as a member of the GOP.

Yes, you are correct.  I was thinking of his Jewishness and forgot he was a Republican.
