If we're counting non-presidential elections in this, Martha Coakley's campaigns for Senate in 2010 and governor in 2014 were way worse. She pissed away huge leads in both in a highly blue state.

You answered your own question.

Well, I don't forget that but his inability to defend that attack has a lot to do with it, if he was a good politician he should have been able to defend the Willie Horton attack ad.

No, Perry 2012, Giuliani 2008, Thompson 2008, and Lieberman 2004 were all worse, to name but a few.
