Do you remember all of your votes for US President? [View all]

I turned 21 in 1972. I had to think about it for a while, but I was able to recall the following:

1972: George McGovern
1976: Jimmy Carter
1980: Jimmy Carter
1984: Walter Mondale
1988: Michael Dukakis
1992: Bill Clinton
1996: Bill Clinton
2000: Al Gore
2004: John Kerry
2008: Barack Obama
2012: Barack Obama

I'm 5-6 since I was able to vote. Damn, I hope I can even things up in 2016!
