I think I know the answer to this, want to see if anyone else does. In the 2008 presidential election, barring Dick Cheney running, we will have two candidates, neither of which are a sitting president or vice president. When was the last time this happened?

Also, barring Jeb Bush running, this will be the first presidential election since 1976 that a Bush or a Dole will not be on a national ticket..

Dwight Eisenhower defeated Adlai Stevenson. Neither was a sitting president or V.P.
