How did your grandparents vote?

Typical northeastern republicans...voted GOP until the mid 80s and then slowly drifted to the Democratic Party.  My granddad was actually a staunch republican who never voted Democratically.  Ironically, the first time he voted for a Democrat at the top of the ticket was the 49 state landslide in '84.  He was a small business owner and thought Corporate America was bad news (who would have known?).  Grandma followed.

Liberal Republicans from the northeast (Long Island, NY).  They voted predominantly republican until the 80s when they started to switch over.  Once Big Business started getting too big (per their perception) under Reagan, they switched to voting Democratic.
