Of the Italian-side of my family...
Myself - McCain
Father - McCain
Sister #1 - Obama
Sister #2 - Obama
Grandmother - Obama
Grandfather - Stayed home
I know in 2000/2004, only my father voted for Bush...but there may have been many "stay at homes" on my Italian side whereas they didn't want Obama and didn't want a Republican. Either way, definite lean Democrat.
Your grandmother actually voted for Obama? I thought she HATED a black.
The economic crisis topped it off.
The New York area Italian vote obviously went to McCain. Elsewhere, probably, mostly Obama.
I suggest that everyone watch "A Bronx Tale" to learn a little more about the relationship between blacks and Italians in New York (specifically The Bronx). lol.
