I'm going to do 1844-1896.

1844: Polk (D), an excellent President with a flip-flopping opportunist as an opponent.

1848: Van Buren (FS), a great former President with two mediocre opponents.

1852: Hale (FS), a much better choice than empty suit Pierce or the grandstanding Scott.

1856: Frémont (R), a good man who would have been a strong President- exactly what the nation needed at the time. Buchanan was weak and Fillmore was an empty suit running on religious bigotry.

1860: Bell (CU), a distinguished gentleman who may have been able to prevent the Civil War. Douglas would be a reasonable second choice, but Lincoln and Breckinridge were divisive sectional candidates.

1864: Lincoln (R), because of the war crisis. I don't approve of his extralegal tactics, but to quote the man himself: "Don't swap horses in the middle of a stream."

1868: Seymour (D), because Grant's admittedly brilliant military credentials aren't enough to justify a vote for him. Seymour's campaign was disgustingly racist, but his efforts fighting the draft during the war give him my vote.

1872: Greeley (D), a bit of a nut but a good man. Grant was a weak President, and there is no way I could have voted for him in 1872.

1876: Tilden (D), a superb reform Governor who would have left a defining mark on the era had he become President. Of course, he won the election... and that makes his "loss" more bitter still.

1880: Hancock (D), a genuine war hero who is sadly overlooked today. Lincoln credited his conduct at Gettysburg as saving the Union, and he proved his ability further by his excellent (and notably fair) governance of part of the old Confederacy after the war. Garfield and Arthur were decent leaders, but one wonders what could have been.

1884: Cleveland (D), an easy choice. There would be no reason to support Blaine, a protectionist with shady business dealings, over a proven reformer such as Cleveland.

1888: Cleveland (D), another easy choice. If Harrison's pomposity and lack of distinction didn't turn me off, his awful campaign (based on raising taxes and eliminating free trade) would.

1892: Cleveland (D), yet another easy choice. The Republicans were out of control, and Harrison- a protectionist and a deficit spender- had to go.

1896: Palmer (ND), as a distinguished Cleveland Democrat disgusted at the party's capture by western populists. At the time, I would have voted for McKinley to stop Bryan.

1828: Jackson (D)

1836: Van Buren (D)
1840: Van Buren (D)

You would vote for Cleveland?!?!?!? Now I've seen everything. The biggest anti-populist in the Democratic Party and a huge defender of the Gold Standard. I would have thought you would have voted Republican during those years due to their pro-tariff position.
