	Amazing how one newspaper headline takes Thomas Dewey from relative obscurity to being among the most famous losers in the race for the presidency.

	The plural of "runner-up" is "runners-up," not "runner-ups."

	No bonus for Mitt Romney?

	So basically what I learned is that the BreckEnridge ski resort is not named after that BreckInridge.

	Thanks to the History Channel I remember "James G. Blaine from the State of Maine." PS. One typo: for 1916 it's Evans, not Evan.

	You have got to give William Jennings Bryan an A for effort.

	Soon Romney or Obama will join this list.

	Thanks to They Might Be Giants for assistance with the 2nd-to-least-gotten answer!

	Interesting factoid- the Republican Party hasn't won a presidential election without a Bush or Nixon on the ticket since 1928. Can Romney/Ryan end an eighty-four year run?

	Ghosts: Despite being one of my favorite TMBG songs...I couldn't remember all the candidates listed in the song...ticked me off.

	R.I.P. George McGovern. One of my faves

	I'm pretty sure John Adams did not run for president in 1789 or 1792. Washington ran unopposed both times.

	I remembered Lewis Cass because there is a nearby high school named after him.

	@RS89: Pre-12th Amendment, the electoral college didn't discriminate between president and vice president with their votes. Each elector had two votes and whoever got the most became president, whoever got the second most became VP. Also, technically Jackson came in first in the elector college in 1824. He came in second at the House of Representatives.
