Here is an interesting question.
Has anyone ever been a presidential hopeful, ran, lost, ran again and become president?
Nixon is the first who springs to mind. He was Eisenhower's VP, lost to Kennedy in 1960 then came back to win in 68 and 72. There are others, of course. Andrew Jackson lost to J.Q. Adams in 1824, then won in 1828. Grover Cleveland was president, lost a re-election bid, ran again and became president again. There are probably other examples, but I'm tired.
EDIT: Oh, Jefferson too. Duh.
