My dad was born in 1915 and was solid Republican and conservative. His viewpoint on executions was that "even if a wrong person was killed, they probably deserved it anyway." I used to get in knock down verbal fights with him over Nixon, as he believed that Nixon was a quaker and would never do anything wrong. But, a week before his death in 1992, he told me that he would vote for Clinton. He acknowledged that he had been wrong his entire life.

Maybe his son did some good..In any case a Democrat from Florida in place of a Republican in these times, can not hurt.
