Sorry, didn't mean to come off critical at all. I know, but I've been hearing that stereotype for at least three decades, and I've actually seen the opposite.

Folks I know who were middle of the road, would now never consider voting for a GOP candidate in national elections. It wasn't the individuals I have in mind who changed.

I think that saying was already obsolete in the beginning of this century, at least in my experience.
