For years, people thought she was a Republican.


But I think she's an independent who leans Democratic (going by her endorsements of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama). I have a theory that she was mistaken for Kristy Swanson by some Republican and thus put on a Hollywood Republican list on one of those conservative websites.

She's a Jew from New York... do you honestly think she's anything other than a liberal democrat? I don't know of anyone that thought she was a Republican, but if some did then you are probably right about it being confusion over which actress played Buffy.

I have heard she refused to donate money to Kerry back in 2004 and she fought with Joss Whedon over this. I also heard she voted Romney in 2012. I think she is conservative altough she doesnt always votes Republican.

I get the impression that she's an independent in theory (maybe she just doesn't like labels) who always leans Democratic in reality. I think that simply the fact that she doesn't identify as a Democrat is enough for some to paint her as Republican.

She's probably a republican but not like in the vein of Kristy Swanson or Janine Turner.
