When is the last time the GOP won with a liberal candidate?

Just in my lifetime:

1. Eisenhower, 1956
   
2. Nixon, 1968 and 1972
   
3. George H.W. Bush, 1988
   
4. George W. Bush, 2004 and 2004.

In fact, Reagan (1980 and 1984), was the only one which we elected against the wishes of the GOP establishment.

What a glorious eight years that was! But maybe it was because we were united behind a single conservative candidate rather than nit-picking over slight flaws of many candidates in a wide field.

Romney is not running as a liberal.

Obama is, however.

When was the last time the 'Rats won with a self-acknowledged liberal as candidate?
