How would you have voted?: United States Presidential Elections

[RIP Robert H Bork]

1892, of course, being my proudest vote.

Wait, you would support Nixon over McGovern?!

In retrospect, no. I tried to put myself in the wayback machine for that one. Nixon gets a bad wrap that isn't always deserved.

It isn't? What exactly is so great about Nixon that everyone seems to be missing?

The fact that his 1972 opponent was not-so-great.

[RIP Robert H Bork]

2008: Obama/P:Edwards

I don't see how anyone could support Edwards in the 08 primaries with any retrospect.  The man was hiding an affair that was going to come out regardless of where his political career went.  Democrats should be thankful everyday that we didn't even take his candidacy seriously in 2008.

The affair was not told when he announced, it was known after the announcement.

Exactly.  He ran for President knowing that he had conducted a career-ending affair!  Imagine if he had been the Democratic nominee and the National Enquirer waited until the Democratic National Convention to release its proof.

Marital infidelity is one thing; this guy seemed content to destroy the Democrats' chance of winning in 2008 in what otherwise was going to be a great year for us.

^^^^

The Democrats would fail to get even 200 EVs had Edwards been on the ticket.

Chafee was never a candidate for the presidency.

He didn't even run as a write-in, though. You could write him in, of course, but he still wasn't a candidate, neither as a write-in nor on the ballot.

I am confused as to why blue = repubs and red = dems on here.

You'll be cured of that in no time.
