Describe a Carter-Mondale-Bush voter

[Sir Mohamed]

Describe a voter that backed both Carter and Mondale against Reagan, but went for HW Bush in 1988. Any ideas? Perhaps a moderate GOPer in the North East or New England?

[TheElectoralBoobyPrize]

They'd most likely be in the South.

[CadetCashBoi]

WASPy moderate Republican and deficit hawk that hated supply side.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

A Republican who hates divorcees.

[Mr. Smith]

An old timey Democrat that drew the line at an alcoholic for a first lady.

[Nate Shahidi]

There were people that voted for Mondale? And they didn't live in either DC or Minnesota?

[darklordoftech]

Though Reagan was dumb and worried about crime.

[Non-consecutive Two Term Floridian]

A conservative Democrat in Tennessee perhaps. This was a state where HW improved from Reagan and where Carter ran very close in 1980 and I believe was Mondale's best southern state in 1984. They probably backed Clinton/Gore and went permanently GOP after 2004.

[TheTide]

There were quite a few in Maryland.

[Red Willow]

A social conservative in GA or TN. Voted Democrat all their life and was able to accept union man Mondale but not "elitist", extreme social liberal Dukakis.

[CentristRepublican]

There were people that voted for Mondale? And they didn't live in either DC or Minnesota?

Actually, 96.8% of Walter Mondale's votes came from outside MN and DC. Just 3.23% of his votes came from MN or DC.

[darklordoftech]

There were people that voted for Mondale? And they didn't live in either DC or Minnesota?

My parents and grandmother voted for Mondale.

[President Johnson]

Possible Laura Bush is one of these? She was a Democrat at the time she met Dubya and probably continued voting for a bunch of Democrats afterwards. In 1988, she then voted for her father-in-law when he was at the top of the ticket.
