In my memory the 1988 campaign had the deepest field, especially counting both parties.
Republican: VP Bush, Sen Bob Dole, Gov Pete DuPont, Sec of State Alexander Haig, Rep Jack Kemp, and Rev Pat Robertson.
Democrat: Gov Bruce Babbitt, Sen Joe Biden, Gov Mike Dukakis, Rep Dick Gephardt, Sen Al Gore, Sen Gary Hart, Rev Jesse Jackson, Sen Paul Simon.
I count a sitting VP, 3 with gubernatorial experience, 5 current or former Senators, 2 US Reps, a former General and Secretary of State, and two Reverends. That's a hard list to beat.
