Oh the pain of the lesser evil.
Probably FDR as of October 1932 was more conservative than either of them. You just cannot predict administrations - it depends on what people are doing _outside_ the electoral process. Nixon gave us the Disability Act & refrained from nuking Vietnam -- just because of what we did outside of the elections.
Supporting either Clinton or Obama now helps to guarantee a more conservative administration.
