I've noticed this since the 1950s. Some restraunt owners I have known since then used to join various small business associations and tax-reduction groups. They were very socially conservative but always voted Democrat. I pointed out to them (we argued for about 35 years over this) that their politics and ethics fit the Republicans better than the Deomcrats. Their comments were, "The Republicans don't want us."

I'm sure FReepers will scream about this, but there has been a good deal of "good old boyedness" amongst Republicans, especially in the South. Up until recently, I imagine a lot of Texan Republicans would have been opposed to voting for a Hispanic candidate.
