I've only voted in one election, so I don't have any vote I regret yet, though I grumble about voting for Jim Matheson constantly.

I've voted a total of 3 times so far, soon to be 4, haven't regretted any of my votes yet.

Obama 2012. The only reason I voted for him was how much i detested Mitt Romney, but things don't seem to be any better than a Romney administration would've been.

Does Oklahoma not believe in third parties?

Ballot access is very unfriendly for third parties in Oklahoma. In 2004, 2008 and 2012 there were only Democrat and Republican on the presidential ballot.

Don't you need signatures from like 10% of the population to get on the ballot in Oklahoma?

I kind of regret voting for Jack Conway in the 2010 Democratic primary in Kentucky.

Oh I see.

Well still, Maxwell strikes me as more of a type that would write in Gary Johnson before voting for Obama.

Voting for Luke Ravenstahl.

I didn't make that mistake again. I voted for Patrick Dowd in the 2009 Primary and Dok Harris in the General.

I think there may have been some very few local races where I've regretted my vote, but none above that level.

Last election, when I was still in Philly, I voted for some councilman who was running opposed and learned later that day (from someone even more tuned into local stuff than I) that he was kind of crappy on some issues.  Would have left that line blank if I knew.

Also, I was too young to actually vote in 2000... but I supported Nader.  Hoo boy that's an embarrassing admission to make.

Still not old enough to vote yet, but Obama in '08.  He still was the preferable choice in the primaries, sadly.  I mean, Hillary, Edwards, Richardson, Gravel, Bayh, Vilsack, Dodd, Kucinich...need I say more?

Kucinich and Gravel are a little nuts, but surely they're a tad better?

Gravel, maybe, though his birtherism pisses me off too much to take him seriously. But Kucinich, like Obama and Edwards, is made far worse with the benefit of hindsight.  Not a fan of pro-Gaddafi scum.

Not birtherism, trutherism, but then apparently the truthers are angry at him too now.

Barack Obama, 2008. Wish I'd've gone Green.

Yep, Obama 08 general.. Nader in hindsight would have been a much better vote.
