Why Adlai instead of Ike?

[hcallega]

In regards to Mrs. Bachman's comment, I find it funny that I said i would vote for Eisenhower, and you said you would vote for Stevenson. I understand why (Eisenhower being a carryover of the New Deal policies and Stevenson being much more moderate than he is given credit as) but it's still funny.

Another interesting fact is that we all seem to stick with our parties through thick and thin, even if they would be considered liberal/conservative by todays standards (Fremont and Lincoln as liberals, Jackson and WJB as conservatives).

To a degree, yes.  I don't do that as much, voting Whig 1836/1840 and 1848/1852, then GOP from 1856-1880, Populist 1892, GOP 1904, Progressive in 1912 and 1924, then GOP in 1952-1956, 1972, and 1984.  A lot of the time, still though, there is agreement between the poster's current party and their past votes.

From 1876 to 1896, there was no great difference between Northern democrats and republicans : no one was more progressive or conservative than the other.

Ehh, names. Adlai is one of my favorite names. I'll probably push my wife to name my kid that. And I've always just liked the guy. Neither election would be easy though, since I like Ike too! We share nicknames.

John C. Fremont in 1856 seems to be the candidate that people mostly seem to be voting for that didn't actually win the election, interestingly enough.

It's important to stress that during '52 I would have been the most undecided of any election, I'm honestly not sure how I would have voted.

That's the strangest votes that I ever saw. So you would vote for every democrat until 1896 and then fore every republican ( even in 1912 ), but you would vote for Cox in 1920 and Smith in 1928. You would choose Roosevelt in 1932 but then vote for every republican, until 1996. You would vote for Clinton, Gore and Kerry but McCain in 2008. What does it mean ?

[Mint]

Eh, it's not that hard when you think more in terms of views instead of parties. If you look at that candidate list, most of the people I voted for lean to the right or at least center. My vote for Roosevelt  can be explained as being a response to Hoover's failure and incompetent meddling in the economy. My vote for Clinton can be explained by his cutting welfare, crime, etc. and relative moderation compared to his opponent. My votes for Gore and Kerry can be explained as responses to Bush's obvious incompetence and general satisfaction with the Clinton years.
