I think you’re right, the Sopranos were conservatives. Carmela tells someone she voted for Bush. Tony wants to help the FBI nab terrorists, even while trying to save himself. Tony goes nuts when the bartender at the Bing says something flippant about bombs coming in on ship containers. Paulie gets mad when the native americans want to disparage Christopher Columbus discovering America. AJ starts out as a liberal head full of mush, then wants to join the army so he can kill terrorists. Whenver the topic of Bush comes up, the characters always seems to be in his corner. Paulie, especially, has little tolerance for liberal comments by other characters. I can’t remember where I read it, but I think that the actor who plays him, Tony Sirico actually is a republican.

Yes, Tony and Carmela were Republicans, as were most of the other mobsters and wives who ever talked politics. As mentioned, Carmela said she voted for Bush. And early on in the series, Tony had a housing scam where he was pilfering federal money, and in giving a toast about it, he said something like, “I never thought I’d say this, but here’s to the federal government.” Paulie and others were adamantly anti-liberal.
Meadow and AJ, though, are Democrats. Meadow went to college and became Lisa Simpson, earning dirty looks from her parents every time she opened her know-it-all mouth about politics. AJ was apathetic until the last season, when he started going on ad nauseum about how f’d up the country is, with Bush about to invade Iran and Americans using too much oil and so on. AJ stopped whining at the very end, but nothing suggested that he changed his political beliefs — especially since he evidently went into the movie industry, which would doubtless solidify any fledgling lefty beliefs that he had.
