The point is that they certainly exist and are likely not as rare as OP makes them out to be, which still stands.

A young conservative who was in the closet in 1964, came out in the 90s, and by 2008 was a Democrat.

Given the fact that there was 44 years between the 1964 and 2008 election, the most likely answer is someone who most likely changed their minds on the issues

Most likely someone who is opposed to government intervention in the economy but has become sick of authoritarianism and excessive focus on social issues within the Republican Party.

In some high-income suburban areas, notably in Obama’s home state of Illinois, such people are anything but rare. In fact, in Illinois Goldwater did better than McCain in 2008 and only 2 percent worse than Romney in 2012.
