Title: Who would you have voted for, GOP primaries?
Post by: © tweed on September 22, 2005, 03:05:49 PM
Same idea as the Dem primary thread.  For some reason, a GOP primary thread was never made, so here it is.

1976: Ford
1980: Anderson
1984: uncontested
1988: Dole (probably)
1992: Bush (because the other option was way worse)
1996: Dole
2000: McCain
2004: uncontested

1976: Ford
1980: Anderson
1984: Write-in: Ron Paul
1988: Either Bush or Specter, probably Bush though
1992: Bush
1996: Dole would have been fine, but probably would have vote either Forbes or Lugar
2000: McCain
2004: Write-in: McCain or Graham

Is it true that Richard Nixon tried to do a last-second swipe of the Republican nomination at the 1964 convention?
