1789-George Clinton (Anti-Fed)
1792-George Clinton (Anti-Fed)

George Washington was not anti-Federalist - he was in fact promoted by the Federalists, and vice-versa. Alexander Hamilton, his Treasury Secretary, was the godfather of the Federalist Party, and his Vice-President, John Adams, was the first (and, I believe, the only) truly Federalist President to take office.

 I didnt vote for Washington. I voted for NY governor George Clinton.

Judging by my experiances on other forums, I am going to become the gaffe king in weeks. George Clinton, George Washington, George Bush, George III, so many to count

[H. Ross Peron]

Revised List:
1789: George Washington (No party) Self-evident
1792: George Washington (No party) Ditto
1796: John Adams (Federalist) Needed to have a strong President and set a precedent for a reasonably strong federal government
1800: Thomas Jefferson (Democratic-Republican) Louisiana Purchase, repeal of Alien and Sedition Acts
1804: Charles Cotesworth Pinckney (Federalist) Protest vote against suicidal policy of preparing for war against Britain
1808: Charles Cotesworth Pinckney (Federalist) Ditto
1812: DeWitt Clinton (Federalist) Ditto
1816: James Monroe (Democratic-Republican) Monroe Doctrine, no real opposition
1820: James Monroe (Democratic-Republican) Ditto
1824: John Quincy Adams (Democratic-Republican) A reasonable politician who'd promote internal development and industry and who was anti-slavery in sentiment is better any day over a slave-owning, ethnic-cleansing hero of the rabble
1828: John Quincy Adams (National Republican) Ditto
1832: Henry Clay (National Republican) Ditto
1836: William Henry Harrison (Whig) Whigs offered the best policy of internal development and industry
1840: William Henry Harrison (Whig) Ditto
1844: James Knox Polk (Democratic) One of the greatest Presidents America had by massively expanding its territory setting its stage for becoming a superpower. This wouldn't have happened with Clay in office.
1848: Lewis Cass (Democratic) Zachary Taylor's better than Cass (more antislavery) but Taylor would die in office and we ended up having Fillmore.
1852: Winfield Scott (Whig) Would have avoided Pierce's idiotic policy in the Kansas-Nebraska Act
1856: John Charles Fremont (Republican) Would have prevented Southern secession and the Civil War
1860: Abraham Lincoln (Republican) Preserved the Union!
1864: Abraham Lincoln (National Union) Ditto
1868: Ulysses Simpson Grant (Republican) Strong supporter of civil rights for blacks
1872: Ulysses Simpson Grant (Republican) Greeley supports civil rights too but he ended up dying.
1876: Rutherford Birchard Hayes (Republican) Tilden would have ended Reconstruction anyway. Also reasonable tariff policy
1880: James Garfield (Republican) Tariff policy
1884: James Gillespie Blaine (Republican) Tariff policy
1888: Benjamin Harrison (Republican) Tariff policy and naval buildup
1892: Benjamin Harrison (Republican) Annexation of Hawaii
1896: William McKinley (Republican) Bryan is a nut regarding economics. Plus the Spanish-American War
1900: William McKinley (Republican) Ditto
1904: Theodore Roosevelt (Republican) Roosevelt truly strengthened America and Parker was just a colourless man.
1908: William Howard Taft (Republican) Same as '96 and '00.
1912: Theodore Roosevelt (Progressive) He would have done something to prevent World War I or intervened. Plus Wilson was a racist bigot.
1916: Charles Evan Hughes (Republican) No Wilson.
1920: James Middleton Cox (Democratic) Harding was while not corrupt himself a very weak President plus Cox would have joined the League of Nations.
1924: John Calvin Coolidge Jr. (Republican) Coolidge was an alright President.
1928: Herbert Hoover (Republican) Al Smith couldn't have done much about the Depression either.
1932: Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Democratic) Hoover was discredited by 1932 and we needed a strong President although not all of the New Deal may have been wise.
1936: Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Democratic) Alf Landon couldn't have dealt with the crisis brewing in Asia and Europe.
1940: Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Democratic) Willkie would have had his hand tied in foreign policy by the isolationists
1944: Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Democratic) Bad idea to change Presidents during wartime.
1948: Harry S Truman (Democratic) Truman and Dewey were pretty much similar and the fact that Truman is more experienced makes him the winner
1952: Dwight David Eisenhower (Republican) A good President who was light-years ahead of Stevenson
1956: Dwight David Eisenhower (Republican) Ditto
1960: Richard Milhous Nixon (Republican) Hmm an experienced, moderate, pro-civil rights, anticommunist Republican over an inexperienced, waffling profilgarte?
1964: Lyndon Baines Johnson (Democratic) Close choice but Goldwater's opposition to the Civil Rights Act clinches this.
1968: Richard Milhous Nixon (Republican) Only Nixon could have gone to China.
1972: Richard Milhous Nixon (Republican) Standing by Nixon! McGovern was the most liberal candidate in American history.
1976: Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr. (Republican) Ford's isn't great but Carter was terrible.
1980: Ronald Wilson Reagan (Republican) Carter's bad and Reagan's far better.
1984: Ronald Wilson Reagan (Republican) Mondale's even worse.
1988: George Herbert Walker Bush (Republican) Dukakis was your typical liberal and Bush had a highly successful foreign policy.
1992: George Herbert Walker Bush (Republican) Again Bush Sr. was highly successful in foreign policy and moderate in economics.
1996: Robert Joseph Dole (Republican) Close choice but I'll take the pro-life candidate.
2000: George Walker Bush (Republican) Close choice but Gore wouldn't have invaded Iraq which would have meant Saddam would still be around to-day.
2004: George Walker Bush (Republican) Kerry would have withdrawn from Iraq which would have been disastrous.
2008: John Sidney McCain III (Republican) Would have been less controversial than Obama and less likely to propose controversial stuff.
