McKinley? Interesting.

I feel pretty confident I would have gone with McKinley over Bryan.
However, I am not very confident about choosing Blaine and Harrison over Cleveland, or Dewey over FDR/Truman.  I also should have specified T.Roosevelt in 1912.

...in every election from 1904-2004 (in both primary and general from 1952-2004).

I think I would have been for the R nominee from 1904 - 1928, with the  exception of voting for Rosevelt in 1912.

From 1932 to now I would have gone for the D nominee with the exception of Einsenhower --  I like Ike. 

Too lazy to look up the primary candidates to pick.
