I have no friends that are liberals. My best friend up in Michigan was actually the one who got me into libertarianism. Before that, I was more conservative socially. He's the only one of my friends who is politically knowledgeable.
I know of 2 people who voted for Obama for sure - my aunt and my cousin. My cousin was 19 when she voted for him, so she didn't know any better. She's a smart cookie, however. On the other hand, my aunt is a pill-popping, alcoholic recluse who weighs close to 3 bills and can go weeks without leaving her house and rarely gets out of her recliner in her waking hours. She loves Obama.
And no, I'm not making this up.
The rest I know love Bush. My mother liked him, but less so once I started informing her about basic political truths and viewpoints. She's still socially conservative, but not as much as before.
