I agree with most of your list, but why vote for Pinckney and not Adams? Adams was easily one of the best Federalists in my opinion, while Pinckney was one of the worst, especially on slavery. It's odd to me that you would vote for all these nonentites the Federalists nominated in later years but not the great John Adams.
I was very torn on the issue of voting for John Adams and, when first typing this list, I did cast my "vote" for John Adams. However, I reversed that decision based on two factors:
1. On principle, I would've abhorred the Alien and Seditions Act that Adams enacted.
2. I would've been considerably more aligned with France than Great Britain and would've detested the way in which Adams & Co. campaigned against Jefferson on this issue.
