I realize that TNF did all the recent presidential elections, but these were randomly selected on my part.

At the time: McCain (was disappointed when he lost)
Now: Chuck Baldwin (why was he left out of the poll?)

I only put third parties on the poll that get >0.25% of the vote. Baldwin only got 0.15%. Choose the "other/write-in" option if you want to vote for him.

Looking at the results now, maybe I should've expanded the third party list Tongue

John McCain.  Even with his march to the right during the primaries, he was a good candidate.

At the time - Obama enthusiastically.
With hindsight - Obama reluctantly.

Just out of curiousity, how are you deciding the order of these polls?

http://www.random.org/sequences/

1 to 57 random sequence. So far though the sequence that I originally wrote down seems to have a bias towards earlier elections first. I crossed off 1 and 2 after I figured out George Washington was the only choice for those.
