Well, considering that he's voting for the Whig / Republican each time, it's not that hard to predict.

For Me;

1824 - Jackson
1828 - Jackson
1832 - Wirt
1836 - Harrison
1840 - Harrison
1844 - Polk
1848 - Cass
1852 - Pierce
1856 - Buchanan
1860 - Douglas
1864 - Lincoln
1868 - Grant
1872 - Grant
1876 - Tilden
1880 - Garfield
1884 - Cleveland
1888 - Cleveland
1892 - Cleveland
1896 - Palmer
1900 - McKinley
1904 - Parker
1908 - Taft
1912 - Wilson
1916 - Hughes
1920 - Cox
1924 - Davis
1928 - Hoover
And Republicans from there on out.

Essentially, I'm a Democrat (or Mugwump) until Al Smith runs...with the exception of 1832-1840 where Jackson personally alienates me from the party (I hate Clay too, hence the vote for Wirt)...1864-1872 I'm convinced by bloody shirt arguments, 1880 I just love Garfield, I can't stand Bryan so I vote for the Gold Democrats in 96 and hold my nose and vote for McKinley in '00 and Taft in '08.  Wilson loses my trust by '16, and by '28 the Democrats have shifted so far to the left I can't support them anymore.

I can't stand either McKinley (McKinley Tariff, anyone) or Bryan (proto-communist inflationary nutjob [without even getting into his later role in the Scopes Monkey case]).

Hence, the vote for Palmer in 1896.
