Eh, if it makes you feel any better, 40% of GOPers voted for Obama .
There are two things at play though, in the "Democrats for Bush" area. The first is DINOs, like Zell Miller, from the South. The second is that as far back as I can remember Democrats have always been more willing to break party ranks in than the Republicans. This seems to be true on both the individual voter level and also in legislators. But in the latter case it might be because the GOP leadership inflicts harsh discipline on those members who stray too much from the party line...
