The last election in which the Democratic candidate was more conservative?

Not 1976. Jimmy Carter may have been a religious, but a conservative he was never. Ford was the kind of Republican they're actively unmaking nowadays, of course, but still clearly an establishment conservative.

Not 1960. LBJ's position on the left of the old Southern Democrats is even more clearcut than Carter's. Kennedy sure had some Conservative baggage, but it's not as if Nixon was ever a Liberal Republican either.

Yep

1904

Correct

2004

LOL!

I'm being dead serious.

Please elaborate.

I'm also curious to know  in what manner John Kerry is more conservative than George Bush.

Well...by old definitions, Kerry was more conservative foreign policy wise, while Bush was certainly liberal in that regard.

One could also say that Kerry had the potential to be more fiscally responsible than Bush, but we can't know.

"Conservative" does not equal "fiscally responsible". Reagan and both Bushes proved this beyond a shadow of a doubt.

"Liberal" does not equal "fiscally irresponsible" as Clinton convincingly proved.

1916, 1960, and 1976

Not really, wrong, and wrong.
