How often has the person you've supported in the primaries won the nomination?

I think Obama might be the only person who has won the Dem. nomination whom I actually voted for in the primaries. It seems like I generally vote in the primary for someone who doesn't win the nomination. This will not be a first for me, if Hillary continues to win states.
