Since 1904, the only elections in which I would have voted Republican is 1904. In 1924 I likely would have voted for LaFollette. There were a few other elections in which the Republican candidate would have made a good President (Dewey, Eisenhower) but they were running against even better Democrats, so I would have voted Democratic in every election in the past century except 1904 and 1924.

All votes since 1964 are actual. I really don't remember if I actually voted for Perot in '92 (I know my wife did and I might have voted for Marrou but I think we voted the same).

Hmm, I'll try this again:

don't know much before this

I'm not really sure on some, I'm sure I could change my mind on a few of these. I'm assuming I don't vote for minor parties, but I might have in many of these.

Some are clear, like Jefferson was much better than John Adams.

To Be honest this isn't really a party in American History which has come to close to my progressive-Enviormentalist Libertarian views. That's why the Greens and the Libs are interchangable for me despite widely different platforms. My opposition to Imperialism prevents me from voting "R" - especially after WWII. While the centralizing and corrupt nature of the Whigs and it's offspring - the Republicans in the 19th century warns me against them.

Isn't Wallace basically the opposite of a libertarian?

On some issues, yes, but so are some of the Prohibition candidates that I would have voted for, because I think that those individuals were the best candidate during the election year.

You truly believe that Thurmond was the best candidate in 1948?

There are also other inconsistencies with how you voted... You voted very conservative in the 60s through 80s, but what you fail to have realized, DW, is that in the early days, the Prohibition Party was rather liberal (It's stance on liquor being it's conservative spot), but the other issues it advocated, I doubt you would have supported based on your votes, such as Full Sufferage, and a majority favored Free Silver, etc.

I had a hard time deciding on any candidates from the 1860's until the 1960's as mostly all of the candidates were progressive/leftist/communists. It's not much better now, though. Republicans aren't conservative & Democrats are socialists.

So of course you chose parties with totally opposite views of yours... Actually in the 1860s, the Democrats would've fit you well...

However, given your votes for total nutjobs like Schmitz and neo-nazis like Gerald Lyman Kenneth Smith, I take that most parties are not extreme enough for you. Perhaps instead of Goldwater in 64, you should've wrote in Lincoln Rockwell... If you don't know who he is, look him up.

Except for certain exceptions (like Lincoln or the first seven presidents), I would have probably abstained from voting for either the Democratic or Republican candidates in the 19th century. Frankly, I've never seen a huge difference between the two parties at the time.

Washington

Adams
Pinckney
Pinckney

Monroe (Mainly because I don't know who "Rufus King" is)
Guess (Election 1820 must've been so dull)
Adams

Clay
Van Buren, though tempted to vote Webster
Van Buren
Clay
Van Buren
Ick.  Abstain Free Soil
Fremont
Lincoln
Lincoln
Grant
Probably Greeley
Tilden
Hancock
Cleveland
Cleveland
Cleveland
Palmer
...Fine. Bryan
TR
Debs...not a Bryan fan
Debs, definitely with hindsight.  I wouldn't want a part in electing Woodrow Wilson.
Anyone but Wilson
Cox
LaFollette, due to his vote against war with Germany
Smith
FDR

Truman
Stevenson

I feel pretty confident I would have gone with McKinley over Bryan.
However, I am not very confident about choosing Blaine and Harrison over Cleveland, or Dewey over FDR/Truman.  I also should have specified T.Roosevelt in 1912.

I find the timing of your switch from supporting the Ds to the Rs to be odd.  Why 1912? 

Purely economics as the issue of the civil war would have faded from memory. FDR was scum, I'd have never voted for him. Plus I based that list on my personal ideology, not necessarily as the standard voter of the time period.

Not even a vote for Davis?

That would actually be a hard one as I like both.

So you would have gotten over your family losing their slaves at that point, right? And you have the nerve to call someone else scum.

You've drifted so far to the dark side you're even starting to reject Theodore Roosevelt? Disappointing, disappointing..

Either one would be fine with me.

1992 is a really tough one for me. I think I'd go for Clinton based on healthcare and a few other things but both were good candidates.

You seriously would have voted for McCain? I thought that was a gag.

:o

Because McCarthy and Wallace are sooooo similar.

He seriously did vote for McCain. Totally unpredictable and completely random, I know. Considering he spent most of this year attacking and mocking him. Then did a 180 about two weeks before the election.

Why does it surprise you that I would vote for my favorite President as he was seeking to be elected again? :P

due to your reputation of being a partisan hack. :)

2008: Mitt Romney

People appear to think George Romney was a conservative like the post-Massachusetts version of Mitt Romney. In reality, George Romney was the moderate-to-liberal candidate in the 1968 Republican parties (and would probably be considered a liberal in today's political environment). He ran against the Viet Nam War and in 1964 refused to endorse Barry Goldwater in the general. It would've been strange for a Goldwater/Ashbrook/Reagan Republican to vote for Romney in 1968, particularly considering there was a conservative running, Ronald Reagan himself.

I live in Biloxi, Mississippi. I know how this area has voted over time. We may be culturally akin to Louisiana, but in those days all the same rules applied as in the rest of the state. Of course, in 1960 we actually voted for Kennedy when all the hicks voted for Nixon or the "Unpledged Slate"

And as for Cleveland, he was the Democratic candidate wasn't he, and the ancestors of mine who were not in Croatia, or in a part of LaFourche Parish you've never heard of were all involved in the liberation movements of the 1870s, so had I been alive at the time, I probably also would have been involved in one of those movements, and would have been voting solid Democratic.
