Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln.

They both opposed what is now called the "FED"... Jackson shut down the National Bank... Lincoln printed our own U.S. dollars called "Greenbacks"...
and Ross Perot for Vice President...

Perot's running mate would have made Biden look good.

Thomas Jefferson.

And if you know your history, you needn't ask why.

The Palin crowd would go for William Jennings Bryan. Religious fundamentalism and small town populism

Grover Cleveland. Cleveland's face appeared on the thousand-dollar bills issued from 1928 to 1946

I used to play golf with his son, Roland Cleveland and he told me many stories about his dad and the presidency.

He was so popular, he was elected two seperate times, not in succession.
