Really? I would have thought you'd be a pretty big TR fan.

The five I'd most want to change.

John Adams in 1800
John Q. Adams in 1828
Teddy Roosevelt in 1912
Thomas Dewey in 1944
John McCain in 2000

I think I'll stick with my answer except for Dewey in 1944.  I'd still prefer Dewey to FDR, but in retrospect I'd like to take Clay over Jackson in 1832 even more.  Yes, I've already picked Adams over Jackson, but I'd like to pick against Jackson twice this time because I hate him that much.

The one I'd most care to change is 1844 to this map:

Clay: 179 EV
Polk: 96 EV

It wouldn't have taken much to produce this map either, just a 2% swing.

2004 to Kerry, then Obama will become president later, not at this critical moment in our history.

My first choice would have to be 2000 from Bush to Gore, followed closely by 2004 from Bush to Kerry.  Bush has by far been the worst President that we have had in modern times.

It'd be ssmarter to change 2000 to Gore because Kerry Wins in 2004 = Republican Victory In 2008, as kerry would take the blame for the horrid last 4 years and financial crisis.

assuming I have to change it to a major party nominee, it has to be Gore2000 even though I probably wouldn't have voted for him... it would be nice to have that one back

Gore bent over backwards to please the mindless droning 'centrists' roughly equivalent to your social and economic scores, but "BAW I WUBZ ME SOME RALPH NADER BAW!"

obviously you haven't been following my career here very closely.  not that you have any moral obligation to do so, but before you draw up a thesis based on 67 assumptions, you probably should do some research


I would have abstained from voting Gore *because* he did so much of what you just said (along with general distaste for the Clinton admin post-'94), not in spite of it

Nah. Stereotypical people are stereotypical.

What great logic: let's blame the guy with a job-not-worth-a-bucket-of-warm-piss for his boss' failings.

I'm sure you're an upscale bleeding heart that's realistic enough not to want to be taxed into oblivion (hence your economic score), but too idealistic/stupid to vote for the 'lesser of two evils'.

Ugh, I'm done.

Most All of the 'secularists' on this site are idiots. It's just that the religionists are so much worse.
