We have family in and around Reno, or Nevada at large, and they’re pretty conservative! I know most of them, if not all, didn’t vote for Obama or Reid. Goodness, even my gay cousin won’t vote for either of them! He’s socially liberal, but is conservative in other ways;(financially) he even likes and voted for Gov. Sandoval!
Oh and even a few of the Democrats in the family don’t like him/Obama! One other cousin who’s a Dem. is fairly conservative. He and most of his family like to go out hunting and fishing and stuff like that. He liked Pres. Bush, and had lots of praise for him when he wanted to open the ANWR in Alaska many years back for drilling (He was an electrician with a Nevada power company)! I don’t know if he’s still a Dem., he might’ve converted to GOP, but I don’t know. I know his new daughter-in-law is Gop. But that’s merely a sampling of the whole family over there. Overall, most are Repub., but there are a few Dem.s are mixed in.
In Utah, most of the known Dem.s in the family were/are moderates or conservative. One of the cousins in particular, is pretty conservative and is a veteran. I don’t know if he’s Repub. or not, but His Facebook entries read like many of the strongest conservatives here on “Free Republic”! (I wonder if he could be one? I’ll have to ask him sometime!) Some others are pretty conservative mostly.
Our little old Grandma (now deceased) was a conservative Dem., but she would never recognize her party now! She’d be pretty digusted with her old party the way it is now! My Step-dad was from S. Carolina, and was once a Dem. He’s disgusted with the party in general; but he still likes a few of the local Dem.s. But he’ll vote for them only if they are conservative!
Otherwise, he votes Republican mostly now. He does get sore at a few of the national ones, and grumbles about them when they act weak and give in too much to Pres. Obama and the Dem.s! He even grumbled about some of them not backing Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Rand Paul, and some Repub.s giving them a bad time!

He grumped about them not standing up for Ted Cruz! (lol)
