Looking back, it shows how my values changed throughout the years. It also shows I’m bad at picking them. I’m 1-4 (.250), and boy, that one cost us. Sorry.
1992: Perot (L)
1996: Dole (L)
2000: Bush (W)
2004: Kerry (L)
2008: Obama (?)
How about you?
1984 - Mondale (loser)
1988 - Dukakis (loser)
1992 - Clinton (winner)
1996 - Clinton (winner)
2000 - Gore (loser)
2004 - Kerry (loser)
2008 - Obama
In 2013, I’ll be 50/50 in backing the winner:D
Same, except I wasn’t old enough to vote until 96.
I’m 0-1 so far (And yes, I’ve voted in every election I could vote for).
Let’s hope I can notch a W up this time around to tie up the score.
1980 - Carter
1984 - Mondale
1988 - Dukakis
1992 - Perot
1996 - Perot
2000 - Nader (I think)
2004 - Kerry
2008 - Barr or Obama
Only one winner in the bunch, so far.
1992 Andre Marrou (Lib)
1996 Bill Clinton
2000 Ralph Nader
2004 John Kerry
2008 Barack Obama
1-4, looking to go 2-4!
Just Obama for me. (I was 16 and pissed in 2004.)
1996 Clinton (W)
2000 Gore (L by technicality)
2004 Kerry (L)
I’m 0-5, soon to be 0-6.
Granted, I haven’t voted for a major party candidate since 1988, but I don’t regret any vote except that one.
I’m ashamed to admit I didn’t vote until the last presidential election (lost.)
I’m 28 years old and I have never been able to vote for a winner. Come on, seven come eleven! Mama needs a new pair of shoes!
1988 - Bush (W)
1992 - Bush (L)
1996 - Dole (L)
2000 - Bush (W)
2004 - Kerry (L)
2008 - Obama
I wasn’t thrilled with Bush when I voted for him in 2000 (I supported McCain in the primary.) I would have voted for anyone other than Bush in 2004.
Even though I’m still a registered Republican, I do not agree with the direction the party has taken in recent years. I’m a free-market fiscal conservative with some libertarian tendencies. I am not a social conservative, and I feel the GOP has been hijacked by the religious right in recent years. I currently think the country is on the wrong track, and I do not think that 2008-vintage McCain is the one to fix it.
If Obama wins, I’ll be batting 0.500.
1992 - Clinton (W)
1996 - Clinton (W)
2000 - Gore (L)
2004 - Kerry (L)
2008 - Obama
I was just barely old enough to vote for Dukakis, but I didn’t. Although I do remember having campaign signs on our front lawn, and I know my mother did.
1988 - Bush (W)
1992 - Clinton (W)
1996 - Clinton (W)
2000 - Gore (W but lost due to a technicality 
)
2004 - Kerry (L)
2008 - Obama (90% for a win, I’d guess)
So, 3-2, hoping for 4-2.
I’ve never tried to vote in a winner before.

I am 43, and could have started voting in 84, but don’t think I voted until 1992. I may have voted in college once, but can’t even remember who it was for. It may have been Mondale.
I really need to sit down and figure out my grandmother’s voting record. She’s Republican, so would have voted for the Republican candidates, starting with Herbert Hoover in 1928. But I think I remember her saying she voted for FDR, I need to ask about that. Grandma has a McCain/Palin sticker in her room at the nursing home, so I guess that’s who she voted for this time.
21 straight presidential elections. Quite a record. If she could have voted at eighteen, the way folks can now, it would be twenty-two.
