George W. Bush and John Kerry are not eligible. Please don't put either one of them.

By the way the reason why I did not want to include W. and Kerry is because I thought everyone would put one or the other (or both).

For Republicans, has to be Barry Goldwater in 1964. LBJ labeled him a crazed warmonger (the irony) who would blow up the world and the label stuck. Goldwater's prickly personality didn't help him much.
For Democrats, has to be Walter Mondale in 1984. Reagan wiped the floor with him. He won only one state, Minnesota, his home state. Why the hell did he tell everyone he was going to raise taxes???
Thank you for asking an intelligent historical question.

Al Gore did not win the State of Tennessee in 2000.
Tennessee is his home state.
The only state that Mondale won was his home state.
Gore was not weak, but like the current democrats, he had no clue how to run a campaign... and it has damned us all.
Stupid democrats do not understand politics.
On the other hand Jeb Bush looks like a great candidate for the GOP in 2008, here is some evidence:
1) he is the governor of Florida
2) his brother was the governor of Texas
3) he will likely pull a VP candidate from New York
4) if you remember George W promoted Amnesty for illegals at first, and Jeb's wife is Latin/Mexican... which would look real good in the southwest and California.
now those are some electoral vote loaded states... not to mention the south is going GOP anyway... we are in trouble for another 4 years, maybe awareness can prevent it.

i don't understand, yet i could evaluate Eric Cantor simply by fact he admits that the Bush era tax cuts at the instant are not useful to the subject of our national Debt. His justification for agreeing to extending them grew to become into to help leap start up the financial device (or a minimum of not get worse it). In its very own way, that justification is like deficit spending for the time of a time of recession. an important evil to wrestle a recession yet one which you want to head far flung from (and repay) once you eventually top your financial device. Mitch McConnell, John Boehner and quite some many different nonetheless purchase into the craptastic financial thought that decrease taxes actually creates greater gross revenues in spite of each and every evidence to the choice. They nonetheless attempt to apply the Laffer Curve (shaggy dog tale because it fairly is) as justification.

Adlai Stevenson went 4 times and never won for the Dems.
Barry Goldwater was the least for the Republicans.
I would've said Nixon, but he won two terms when he tried again.

Michael Dukakis, Dem., for sure! He was about as deep as a piece of paper, and about as soppy. Barry Goldwater for the Reps, but I don't know why, he was before my time.

By making W ineligible for this idiocy award you are misunderestimating his supreme ability to rise to the bottom, the man is an iconoclast after all, he just can't know it.
