Who did you vote for in the.......????

2008 Republican Primary?

BE HONEST

In case you forgot who ran:

2008: McCain, Giuliani, Hunter, Huckabee, Paul, Romney, Keyes, Thompson

2012: Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, Paul, Perry, Bachmann, Huntsman

2016: Obvious

[Dr. Sivana]

2008: Huckabee (Illinois primary was late)
2012: Santorum (Wisconsin primary was late, but I would have voted for anything not Romney)
2016: Cruz

[The Iceman Cometh]

None of the above. Lolz

[freespirit2012]

Who is Hunter-— I did not vote in either of the primaries-— I live in NY-— Fred Thompson was my favorite but he kind of faded—— 2012— I liked Gingrich, but know his liberal side-— think Huntsman would have been my vote...2016 definitely Trump

[Alas Babylon!]

2008: Wrote in Fred Thompson

2012: Newt Gingrich

2016: Trump

[Fresh Wind]

Paul 2008 (protest)
Gingrich 2012 (protest)
Trump 2016 (probably)

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

2008: Alan Keyes (write-in)
2012: Rick Santorum
2016: Rick Santorum

[Gay State Conservative]

In my state one can switch parties on primary day and that’s what I’ve done for years...I always take a Rat ballot and vote for the less (or least) electable creature.

[CapnJack]

Keyes
Gingrich
Cruz

[boycott]

Sadly, the nominees in 2008 and 2012 were decided before it ever got to my state — Alabama.

I am so sick of Iowa going first every time. This is a blue state and it certainly doesn’t represent my values. They should have no more input than any other state. If a candidate doesn’t do well in Iowa, it may derail his/her chances. That is why Iowa is promised so much pork every four years.

I am also sick of the open primary states where liberals and democrats help decide who the nominee is going to be. So often, it’s all decided before I ever have an opportunity.

Blue states, open primary states, and the media usually decide the nominee before I ever have a chance to vote.

I expect the GOPe to never contest any of these issues because they benefit from it.

2016: Either Cruz or Trump. I am not 100% sure yet.

[Tennessee Nana]

You forgot some people...

2012 Herman Cain for instance...

[4Liberty]

Paul - all 3 times.

[Honorary Serb]

2008: Huckabee
2012: Gingrich
2016: Trump

By the way, I am an Independent Conservative, and need not vote in a Republican primary. But since 2008, it just “worked out that way”, for reasons that should be obvious.

Who is Hunter
___________________________

only the man who built the wall that Romney posed by...

Congressman Duncan Hunter got the rest of the fence passed in 2007 and the funds were appropriated but it was never built...

[Lurkinanloomin]

2008 VA primary late, I voted against McCain (Huckster)

2012 Santorum

2016 Still undecided, I was a solid Cruz from the day he announced, but have been impressed with Trump’s drive to win.

[Starstruck]

2008 I voted in the Democrat primary for Trump.

[llmc1]

Hunter
Santorum
Santorum (But if he’s out, then probably Cruz)

[rhinohunter]

2008: Thompson
2012: Santorum
2016: Cruz

And FWIW In 1996 I intended to vote for B1 Bob Dornan but he didn’t make the TX ballot. So I voted for Keyes.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

2008: Duncan Hunter Sr. 2012: Newt Gingrich 2016: Ted Cruz

[Blogatron]

2008: Keyes (only reasonable candidate in NC primary at the time)

2012: Santorum (only reasonable candidate in NC primary at the time)

2016: Cruz
