How Did Ennis Vote?
David In Indy:
I really don't think Ennis would have voted. Who knows though? It's hard to tell what may have happened to him between the 1980s and now. Assuming he stayed pretty much the same, then I doubt he would have voted. Ennis made it a point to stay disconnected from the world after Jack died. If he did vote though, he definately would have voted Republican. I think Ennis probably would have been both a social conservative and a Republican. Remember one does not need to be a Republican in order to be conservative. However, with Ennis, I think this probably would have been the case.
Edit: Another thought just occured to me:
If Ennis had decided to move to the city for any reason, I think he probably would have taken a job in one of the Unions. If something like that happened, he would have voted Democratic. But he'd definately STILL be a conservative.
Lynne:
I would be interested in understanding the differences between the Republican Party in the 60s and the 2008 version. I stand by my vote that Ennis probably would not have voted, which I posted earlier. But based on the 'fire and brimstone crowd' comment, I think he would have little patience with today's version of the Republican Party.
serious crayons:
Ennis might have had the opportunity to vote for Barry Goldwater. He was 19 in June of '63, but could have turned 20 before November, which would make him 21 (the legal voting age at the time) by November 1964, when Goldwater ran against Johnson.
If so, he'd probably be surprised in recent years to see Goldwater emerge as an outspoken advocate for gay rights!
Artiste:
Ennis would difinately vote, but firstly hear:
What a difference a day makes ! - ?
Artiste:
Could Ennis have voted for BOTH parties?
