Describe a Republican who voted for Bill Clinton twice

[Blow by blow, the passion dies]

Ancestral Republican from Vermont who did not switch parties?

[TheElectoralBoobyPrize]

Apparently Arthur Laffer.

[Ragnaroni]

Southern Republican who used to vote Democrat but swung in 1968 or 1972 and voted for Carter and then Clinton.

[ListMan38]

Disaffected Du Pont supporters who hate Bush, Dole and Perot

More likely a Northern moderate.  Southerners still mostly identified as Democrats during the 1990s, in spite of them voting more Republican at the presidential level.  Those who identified as Republican tended to be more well-off, white suburbanites.  They were not likely to vote for Clinton.

Yeah.

[Schiff for Senate]

Wanted to stick it to Bush for breaking his tax promise, and then was very pleasantly surprised with the turn the economy took, deciding to reward Bill Clinton. Also decidedly pro-free-trade (were they protectionist, a Perot vote would've been much likelier).

Yup. Until recently (even now?) places like LA/KY had more registered Democrats than Republicans. And there are a ton of southern rural counties that are now deep red but still have substantial registered Democrats, in many cases a Democratic majority and in some cases (especially in Appalachia) overwhelming Democratic majorities.
