Including anyone who received >1% of the vote in the general election, or won at least one state in a major-party primary.  3 days.

This. Robertson accused my religion of harboring (or possibly being) "the spirit of the Antichrist." (Full quote: "You're supposed to be nice to Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and Methodists ... Nonsense. I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist."). The Wall Street Journal was correct when it described him as "a paranoid pinhead with a deep distrust of democracy". So Brown.

Dick Gephardt, followed by Walter Mondale.

Scranton would be my third choice.

McGovern has become something of a neoliberal these days and is shilling for the national right-to-work committee. I'd probably not have voted for him in '72 were I around, I definitely wouldn't vote for him now.

Jerry Brown is a neoliberal, as are Jimmy Carter, John Anderson, Gary Hart, and Al Gore.

Dukakis would be my fourth choice, followed by George H.W. Bush.

Dole would probably be my sixth choice. Robertson and Jackson are fringe candidates.
