*This election is the only time I would have voted third party, for Martin Van Buren running on the Free Soil ticket.

Clearly I am heavily biased towards Democrats/Democratic-Republicans and only would have voted Whig et al. or Republican under particular circumstances for particular candidates at particular times in history.

The elections I would have come closest to voting Republican post-1904 are 1956, 1972 (without hindsight), and 1988. In many earlier elections I wouldn't have particularly cared for either candidate but usually would have come down on the side of the Democrat for reasons of economics, trade, immigration, and foreign policy if nothing else. Throughout most of history, I've sympathized more with the Democratic position on these issues. While the Whigs/Republicans were generally always the party of big business, tariffs, xenophobia, and imperialism. And only in the 1850s/1860s were they unequivocally superior on issues of race/slavery: They had thrown black people under the bus by 1876, and become pretty corrupt and in the pocket of industrialist tycoons already, so no reason to continue to vote for them.
