Who would you have voted for in the Republican primaries? Needless to say I would have stuck with candidates representing the moderate wing of the party:

1972: McCloskey
1976: Ford
1980: Anderson
1988: Bush
1992: Bush
1996: Alexander
2000: McCain

Btw, for a useful link on past primaries and their results, go to http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Agora/8088/ElectPandC.html (Republicans should beware, the commentaries have a liberal bias).

"In 2000 the Republicans were so sick of being defeated by their moral enemy Clinton (including their self-inflicted wound from the moronic impeachment attempt...remember they spent $50 million and an enormous amount of time to investigate a blow job instead of, say, Islamic terrorist networks.)"

Yeah, they do have a little bit of a liberal bias.

Yes, just a teeny weeny little bit. Wink Still, the maps are a useful source of information for conservatives and liberals alike.

Yes, it's very biased.  But the maps are useful, and the commentary is humorous.

I forgot about that.

Reagan actually lost twice ('68 and '76) and won twice ('80 and '84), so Reagan is just as much of a loser as he is a winner.

Probably yes, though he might have hurt Carter's support in the South.

People weren't going to elect someone as conservative as Reagan until they were in dire staraits, which is what the case was in 1976.  He would have lost like Goldwater in '68, but been respectable in defeat in 1976.
