1992 was when I switched party allegiances and I did so rather late in the election (September or October, if I recall.
So I supported Bush for most of the run-up, but switched to Clinton in 1992 on account of Ralph Reed, Karl Rove and The Christian Coalition taking a dominant position in the Bush campaign. Since then, I've voted exclusively Democrat for POTUS though the decision was a very difficult one in 1996 as I genuinely like and respect Bob Dole, and again in 2008 as I like and respect John McCain. I don't remember what pushed me from Dole back to Clinton in 1996, though in 2008 it was Sarah Palin that pushed me to Obama over McCain.
I have voted quite a few mixed tickets down ballot in those years, and prior to 1992 I voted exclusively Republicans.

PO2 Robert Aitchison - That is what happened to me with Mitt Romney. I really liked him in 2008 when he ran as a moderate, but in 2012 he shot hard right to try and out-right Rick Santorum.

All Republicans since Barry Goldwater in 1964. I have voted for democrats for other offices including Zell Miller for governor and later for US senator from GA and Bart Gordon for congress and Rosalind Kuritta for the state senate here in TN.

BBAAAA. Lifelong Republican until we elected a village idiot from Texas who gave away our privacy, lied to start a totally unjustified war, and dragged our country down by officially endorsing torture. Since then, the GOP hasn't fielded a smart person of good character who cares about the Constitution.
