Who would you have voted for in in past presidential elections?

[Communists For McCain]

Once again, I'll comment that it's somewhat laughable if someone who isn't either a WASP or black to think they'd have been a Republican before 1920 or so.  19th-century Republicans were fond of calling out the police or other goons to billy-club you away from the polling stations.

(Assuming you got to the polling station, the fact that you deposited a pre-filled out non-secret ballot would have your evident English illiteracy swiftly mocked).

McKinley actually did pretty well with Catholics and Lutherans, so you should adjust to say "before 1896 or so".

McKinley got c. 30%, which was a huge improvement but nothing to call home about.

(Also, I should obviously have amended my statement to say that German-Americans were a swing group in that period).

That, and it really helped that a bible thumping Prohibitionist Silverite was the Democratic nominee.

Within four years with the McKinley flirtation with Imperialism, a lot of the voters who held their noses and voted McKinley returned to the home base.

I would even say 1920 would be a bit premature guess of when large numbers of Catholics started becoming regular Republicans. I mean, even during the Coolidge years many Catholics were still staunch Democrats on the state and local levels of governance.

It has been only real recently (probably the 1970s or the 1980s or so) that it's become normal for there to be Catholic Republicans.  It was less weird for there to be Republican Southerners sooner than it was for there to be Republican Catholics (in general).

NOTE:  What I mean by "Republican Catholics" are Catholics who go as far as to register Republican, not necessarily Catholics voting for Republican Presidential nominees.

FTR, it's estimated McKinley may have gotten as mch as 45% of all Catholics, up quite much from the 20-25% that Harrison got in 1892.

FTR, it's estimated McKinley may have gotten as mch as 45% of all Catholics, up quite much from the 20-25% that Harrison got in 1892.

That's including German Catholics, who as noted earlier had very different voting habits (also, there's still no possible way he got that much, just looking at the map).

[Communists For McCain]

FTR, it's estimated McKinley may have gotten as mch as 45% of all Catholics, up quite much from the 20-25% that Harrison got in 1892.

That's including German Catholics, who as noted earlier had very different voting habits (also, there's still no possible way he got that much, just looking at the map).

The 45% figure could be true is if there was a MASSIVE sitout by Irish Catholics.  In other words, you would need 1920 to happen.  Looking at the map this is a little inconclusive as Bryan seems to have gotten God numbers in the Rocky Mountain West while underperforming in the Northeast.

But, McKinley's appeal to Catholics shouldn't be underestimated.  A number of Catholics were advancing to the middle business class at the time after all.  On my previous point, some lace curtain middle/upper class Catholics might've voted McKinley in fear of Bryan's perceived left wing radicalism.

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).

[Peter the Lefty]

For the Democratic primaries, I'll start with 1952, since I would've joined the party at around that time. 

1952–Estes Kefauver
1956–Estes Kefauver
1960–Hubert Humphrey, then Wayne Morse when he entered.  After they'd both pulled out, I guess JFK. 
1964–LBJ.
1968–Eugene McCarthy until RFK entered.  After he got shot, I'd have gone back to McCarthy.
1972–George McGovern
1976–First Morris Udall, then Frank Church once he entered.
1980–Ted Kennedy
1984–First Jesse Jackson, but I would've abandoned him for Mondale after his anti-Semitic remarks came out
1988–Err...Dukakis I guess.  Couldn't vote for Jackson for the same reasons as 1984. 
1992–Tom Harkin, quite reluctantly since he's an Israeli tool.  No one after he dropped out. 
1996–Would not vote
2000–Bill Bradley (again, reluctantly)
2004–Dennis Kucinich
2008–Dennis Kucinich again (not with hindsight cause of the Gadaffi stuff) then Edwards after he dropped out (not with hindsight), then Obama (would have spoiled my ballot with hindsight)

Am I the only person who would have voted Republican in every election since the party was founded?
