A hardy, midwestern plains state teetotaler born ca. 1900 who started Dem but quickly became R over the Dem's urbanism and welfare statism. Liked Jimmy Carter's religiosity, farm background and populism though, while disliking Nixon's internationalism. Not too farfetched. Need I mention that I can imagine this person being male?

Not bad! I lived 4 years in MA (while a student), I'm Gen X, and I voted Libertarian for Senate in 1988. I had met Ron Paul personally and thought about voting for him, but in the end left my Presidential ballot blank.
