One potential metric is how well a campaign did in the electoral college relative to their popular vote margin. By that metric Hughes in 1916 would look pretty good. He almost won the EC in spite of losing the popular vote by a few points. Kerry in 2004 also looks pretty good by that standard.
I agree Ford in 1976 is definitely impressive in how close he came in spite of starting so far behind.
