Democratic Party presidential primaries, 1972 onward
1972: Hubert Humphrey
1976: Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson [1]
1980: Edward M. "Teddy" Kennedy [2]
1984: Walter Mondale [3]
1988: Richard A. "Dick" Gephardt [4]
1992: Tom Harkin [5]
1996: William J. "Bill" Clinton [6]
2000: William J. "Bill" Bradley [7]
2004: Richard A. "Dick Gephardt  [8]
2008: John Edwards [9]
2012: Barack Obama

Bold indicates an actual vote that I have cast.

Notes:

[1] Would have probably initially supported Walter Mondale before he dropped out early on, and then moved on to Scoop Jackson. After Jackson dropped out of the race, I'd be on board with the 'Anybody-But-Carter' forces and support a draft of Hubert Humphrey, Ed Muskie, or Teddy Kennedy (or Mondale and Jackson) at the Convention. Still would have voted Carter in the general, though.

[2] Enthusiastic support for Kennedy, particularly because at this point Carter is unelectable and ineffectual. Still would go for Carter in the general though.

[3] Mondale leaves the least bad taste in my mouth out of all the candidates. Would have at least considered voting for John Glenn, though.

[4] Another 'least bad of a bad field' choice.

[5] After Harkin, I'd probably support Clinton, because Jerry Brown is to Clinton's right on fiscal policy.

[6] No choice here, but I would have supported a liberal challenge to Clinton.

[7] No real love for Bradley, but he's to the left of Gore.

[8] After Gephardt dropped out, I would have supported John Edwards.

[9] Actually did support Edwards at first because he was to the left of Clinton and Obama. After he dropped out, I supported Clinton before settling on Obama. In retrospect, I should have supported Clinton, but she was too DLC for me in 2008 until after Edwards dropped out and she moved to the left to get Edwards' voters (like me).

2000: Al Gore (Democratic)
2004: John Kerry (Democratic)
2008: Barack Obama (Democratic)
2012: Barack Obama (Democratic) [7]

[1] Tactical vote to keep Franklin Pierce from winning the state. I'd probably otherwise have voted for John Parker Hale, the Free Soil nominee.

[2] The only other option on the ballot in Kentucky is Millard Fillmore, running under the American Party banner. I'd give my vote to Buchanan here begrudgingly.

[3] Tactical vote to keep out Calvin Coolidge.

[4] Though I'd be very weary about voting for Mondale during the Second Cold War, I'd still ultimately do it because of Reagan's policies towards labor.

[5] Tactical vote against Bush.

[6] Tactical vote against Dole.

[7] My first actual vote.

You didn't vote for Truman? Surprising

This is with hindsight, of course. At the time, I'd definitely have been a Truman voter, I think. He's still my favorite POTUS, but here I'm voting my ideological preferences.

I really don't see libertarians voting for Al Smith in 1928. He didn't make a right turn until 1934.

AFAIK, universal white male suffrage came to Kentucky in 1800. However, given that the Atlas doesn't have state level information for votes in Kentucky prior to 1824, I'll start there and limit myself only to candidates on the ballot in Kentucky since 1824 in this list.

1824: Andrew Jackson (Republican)
1828: Andrew Jackson (Democratic)
1832: Andrew Jackson (Democratic)
1836: Martin Van Buren (Democratic)
1840: Martin Van Buren (Democratic)
1844: Henry Clay (Whig) - I'd have supported Van Buren at the Democratic National Convention and then be upset enough about the nomination of a pro-annexation Democrat to back my home state's very own statesman, in his third bid for the White House. I think I could stomach voting for the Whigs at this point, given the seeming normalization of universal suffrage (for white men) and the lack of any attempt (thus far) to rescind it.
1848: Zachary Taylor (Whig)
1852: John P. Hale (Free Soil) - Finally! Someone that I can get behind that isn't a tool of the industrialists or a slavery apologist. I'd probably be fairly enthusiastic about the Free Soil Party, given it's origins in the labor movement of that day and age.
1856: James Buchanan (Democratic) - Republicans aren't on the ballot in Kentucky and there's no way I'm voting for the guy responsible for the Compromise of 1850. Buchanan however is likewise vile, so this vote is probably made with my nose pinched.
1860: Abraham Lincoln (Republican)
1864: Abraham Lincoln (Union Republican) - The Union forever! Hurrah boys, hurrah!
1868: Ulysses Grant (Republican)
1872: Charles O'Conor (Independent Democratic) - Wow, that vote for Grant has lead to mass corruption and takeover of the Treasury by industrialists. At the same time, I'm definitely not about to back Horace Greeley, who has no position whatsoever on the money question, so O'Conor it is. (And I'm not extremely enthusiastic about that either, given his former apologism for slavery and the Confederacy)
1876: Samuel Tilden (Democratic)
1880: James Weaver (Greenback)
1884: Benjamin Butler (Greenback)
1888: Alson Streeter (Union Labor)
1892: James Weaver (People's)
1896: William Bryan (Democratic)
1900: Eugene Debs (Social Democratic)
1904: Eugene Debs (Socialist)
1908: Eugene Debs (Socialist)
1912: Eugene Debs (Socialist)
1916: Allan Benson (Socialist)
1920: Eugene Debs (Socialist)
1924: Robert LaFollette (Progressive) - I would prefer someone a bit more revolutionary, but the Commies on the ballot here are nobodies and the Workers' Party of America was tacitly supporting efforts at building a mass farmer-labor party during this period, so I suppose I'd suck it up and vote for LaFollette.
1928: William Foster (Communist)
1932: William Foster (Communist)
1936: Norman Thomas (Socialist) - Not a fan of Browderism and increasingly skeptical of the Soviet Union at this point, I'd wager, especially with the crushing of the revolutionary left in Catalonia.
1940: Norman Thomas (Socialist) - Definitely not excited about the prospect of another world war.
1944: Norman Thomas (Socialist)
1948: Norman Thomas (Socialist) - Not voting for Wallace or Truman
1952: Eric Hass (Socialist Labor) - Wow, this is a depressing election. I guess I'll vote for Socialist Labor, because the Socialists aren't on the ballot anymore in Kentucky and would probably be totally useless even if they were an option. Christ.
1956: Eric Hass (Socialist Labor)
1960: Not voting, given my only options are JFK and Nixon.
1964: See 1960.
1968: Fred Halstead (Socialist Workers) - oh thank god
1972: Linda Jenness (Socialist Workers)
1976: Peter Camejo (Socialist Workers)
1980: Andrew Pulley (Socialist)
1984: Melvin Mason (Socialist Workers)
1988: Lenora Fulani (New Alliance) - welp, there go all the socialist choices again
1992: Lenora Fulani (New Alliance)
1996: Ralph Nader (Write-In)
2000: Ralph Nader (Green)
2004: Ralph Nader (Independent)
2008: Brian Moore (Write-In)
2012: Jill Stein (Green)

PARTY ID

1792-1828: Democratic-Republican Party
1828-1831: Working Men's Party
1831-1839: Democratic Party
1839-1848: Liberty Party
1848-1854: Free Soil Party
1854-1874: Republican Party
1874-1876: Greenback Party
1876-1878: Workingmen's Party of the United States
1878-1897: Socialist Labor Party of America
1897-1898: Social Democracy of America
1898-1901: Social Democratic Party of America
1901-1919: Socialist Party of America
1919-1920: Communist Labor Party of America
1920-1921: United Communist Party of America
1921-1921: Communist Party of America
1921-1925: Workers Party of America
1925-1928: Workers (Communist) Party of America
1928-1934: Communist League of America
1934-1936: Workers Party of the United States
1936-1937: Socialist Party of America
1937-1983: Socialist Workers Party

After 1983 everything goes to sh**t and there's really not any single organization I feel comfortable identifying with. I thought about choosing a few others instead of the SWP in the period that it was active, as it was really engaging in some rather blatant opportunism in the late 50s and throughout the 60s, but the internal climate was still fairly democratic at that point so I erred on the side of being part of a bigger organization with more influence in the trade unions and among the active social movements during that period.
