How would you have voted?: United States Presidential Elections

[Mint]

My vote in the '72 primaries is mostly to make Nixon less left wing on economic policy.

Either one would be fine with me.

1992 is a really tough one for me. I think I'd go for Clinton based on healthcare and a few other things but both were good candidates.

You seriously would have voted for McCain? I thought that was a gag.

No joke.

Well, now I'm not sure I'd bother voting in a lot of these. But I can tell you if I had to do things over again I'd vote for Barr over the lesser of two evils last year (i.e. McCain). That said I'm optimistic about the future in the long term even if the short term is going to be hell due to decades of greed and short sighted policies IMO.
