Richard Nixonin 1960, because I'm not the biggest fan of JFK and didn't like that he wanted to cut taxes and wasn't too found of his foreign policy and I would not have been a fan of selecting LBJ as his running mate without hindsight but I'm not a fan of Nixon either and wouldn't have been convinced he'd cooperate with a left leaning, or Gerald Ford in 1976, because I don't really mind Ford and liked his position on campaign finance reform, but being in the same party as Watergate and his dumping of Rockfeller for someone more conservative, I would have gone for Carter in the end. The most likely perceived scenario that could have gotten me to vote Republican was 2000 if McCain had gotten the GOP nomination and he was up against someone who I didn't like on the Dem side (say had Bob Kerrey had been the nominee). I may have voted GOP if Rockfeller had gotten the nomination in 1968 against someone like Scoop Jackson (who of course did not run) and likely would have had he gotten the nomination in 1960 against JFK.

You don’t like Reagan?

The Italicized choices are how I actually voted.  If I had to do it over, I'd have voted for Carter in 1980, Perot in 1992, Dole in 1996, and POSSIBLY Romney in 2012. 



Hmm.. I’m just curious.. why McGovern?
