2012: Eh, awful choices. I guess Willard Milton "Mitt" Romney (R-MA). Johnson would be cooler, though in all likelihood I wouldn't have voted for him. Voted for Johnson in the forum's mock election as he was getting more support than Romney. Put it down as Romney, but it's iffy.
2008: John S. McCain, III (R-AZ)
2004: George W. Bush (R-TX)
2000: George W. Bush (R-TX)
1996: Robert J. Dole (R-KS)
1992: Not an easy decision, but H. Ross Perot (I-TX) as a protest vote.
1988: George H.W. Bush (R-TX)
1984: Ronald W. Reagan (R-CA)
1980: Ronald W. Reagan (R-CA)
1976: Gerald R. Ford (R-MI)
1972: Richard M. Nixon (R-NY) without hindsight. With hindsight, screw Nixon. I'd vote Hospers, I guess.
1968: Richard M. Nixon (R-NY)
1964: Barry M. Goldwater (R-AZ)

1789: George Washington (I)
1792: George Washington (I)
1796: John Adams (F)
1800: John Adams (F)
1804: Thomas Jefferson (R)
1808: James Madison (R)
1812: James Madison (R)
1816: James Monroe (R)
1820: John Quincy Adams (R)
1824: John Quincy Adams (R)
1828: John Quincy Adams (NR)
1832: Andrew Jackson (D)
1836: William Henry Harrison (W)
1840: William Henry Harrison (W)
1844: James Knox Polk (D)
1848: Zachary Taylor (W)
1852: John Parker Hale (FS)
1856: James Buchanan (D) - In looking out for my interests as a Catholic in a Northern industrial state, Buchanan--who backed tariffs while in the Polk administration and who was nominated on a platform friendly to Catholic immigrants--is the proper choice for me.
1860: Abraham Lincoln (R) - Stephen Douglas wouldn't've been that bad. Choice made in a without hindsight perspective when examining how tariff issues would effect my state.
1864: Abraham Lincoln (NU)
1868: Ulysses S. Grant (R)
1872: Ulysses S. Grant (R)
1876: Samuel J. Tilden (D)
1880: Winfield Scott Hancock (D)
1884: S. Grover Cleveland (D)
1888: S. Grover Cleveland (D)
1892: S. Grover Cleveland (D)
1896: William McKinley (R)
1900: William McKinley (R)
1904: Theodore Roosevelt (R) - One of the trickier decisions in this list.
1908: William Howard Taft (R)
1912: Woodrow Wilson (D) - Based on the four main choices, Wilson represents neither the overbearing federal government of Roosevelt, the obvious administrative failure of Taft, nor Debs' socialism. His "progressivism" is based on opportunity as opposed to TR's regulation, and thus is more appealing to me.
1916: Charles Evan Hughes (R)
1920: Warren G. Harding (R)
1924: J. Calvin Coolidge (R)
1928: Alfred E. Smith (D) - Difficult decision. It depends on where you place "me" historically. As a Michiganian in a semi-rural area? Hoover. After all, he represents "real America". As a Catholic with Italian and Irish blood? Smith, as he opposed prohibition (important) and is on "my" side. Went with Smith due to his personal style.
1932: Franklin D. Roosevelt (D)
1936: Alfred Landon (R)
1940: Franklin D. Roosevelt - Better the devil I know than the devil who switched parties like a year ago and has nowhere near any qualification to hold the office of President.
1944: Franklin D. Roosevelt (D)
1948: Harry S. Truman (D)
1952: Dwight D. Eisenhower (R)
1956: Dwight D. Eisenhower (R)
1960: Richard M. Nixon (R) - Much like the Hoover vs. Smith contest. In this case, Nixon is more "me" than Kennedy.
1964: Barry M. Goldwater (R)
1968: Richard M. Nixon (R) - Again, I'm voting here largely without hindsight, and even with, were the other two much better, if any at all?
1972: Richard M. Nixon (R)
1976: Gerald R. Ford (R) - Michigan hack. Were Ford not from MI, I can see a Carter vote here.
1980: Ronald W. Reagan (R)
1984: Ronald W. Reagan (R)
1988: Ronald E. Paul (L)
1992: H. Ross Perot (I)
1996: Robert S. Dole (R)
2000: George W. Bush (R) - With hindsight, I'd probably vote for Buchanan.
2004: George W. Bush (R)
2008: John S. McCain, III (R)
2012: Gary Johnson (L) - In a state where Rombo had a chance, I guess I could vote for him.
