Puzo created Vito to have a great character. He was wise in many ways. Vito was much too wise to hold a certain political view. Like an honest American, he voted, but never for a certain platform. I think he would have voted for the best man for the job.

He could have been republican do to his close ties with business.

Or a democrat due to his humanitarianism.
