I personally love Al Smith.  He seems to me like an earlier FDR.

I think McGovern would have been a pretty good president.

This is meant to be people who NEVER became president, not ones who lost a single election.

I agree that Bob Dole was very deserving of the office.  In no small part because he was very moderate and a man who could have stopped the partisanship we are so plagued with today.
