my disappointing, i mean  what candidate totally failed to live up to his/her potential?

ill say nelson rockefeller.  he had it all..money, famous name, governor of a big state and yet he failed miserably in his 3 presidential runs.

getting appointed veep as a consolation gift, long after his political career was over, was almost embarrassing .

i guess pete wilson 1996 deserves a mention too.  but in fairness he had some medical problems come up.

cranston was much too old when he finally ran for president.  and if i remember correctly he was pretty much a single issue candidate...the nuclear freeze...which wasnt a popular issue anyway.
