List all the losers you have voted for...

[Democratic Hawk]

The last three Labour candidates in 2003 for my ward on Durham City Council. My Labour village (1 Labour councillor) was amalgamated with a larger Lib Dem village (2 Lib Dem councillors) and the result was 3 Lib Dems

I also voted for the doomed North East Regional Assembly

[Јas]

No losing candidates.
However, I was on the losing side for the referendum on the 27th amendment to the constitution.

[falling apart like the ashes of American flags]

Include every loser you can remember.  All the way down to county/city council.

Suprisingly I have only voted for two losers in my short career (been voting since 2002).

2004 Presidential Primary:  John Edwards
2004 General Election:  John Kerry

Actually, Kerry technically did win, since you voted in the election for Maryland's electoral votes, which he won.

As for me:

2002:

Walter Mondale - Senate
Roger Moe - Governor
DFL candidate for Secretary of State
DFL candidate for Treasurer
DFL candidate for Auditor
guy who ran against Gil Gutknecht

2004:

Leigh Pomeroy - House
and John Kerry, although as stated he technically did win the election I voted in, just not nationwide.

[David S]

Ross Perot. During his campaign he pointed out the size of the national debt when Washington politicians did not want to talk about it. He also had a common sense approach to problems that was appealing. In retrospect though, I think his campaign was only a plan to take votes from GHW Bush and get Clinton elected. At the time I wanted an alternative to the two main candidates and I wasn't familiar with the LP yet.

I'm sure I'm leaving some out, but here goes.

1986:
former Gov Winfield Dunn (R) lost to Gov  Ned Ray McWherter (D). I couldn't see much difference, Dunn seemed more urban and was for sex ed, McWherter was against. I was 19.

1988: Jesse Jackson in primaries (would not vote for him today, and I can't say I really wanted him to win nom then)

Dukakis in the general

1991- For mayor, I voted Betty Nixon, who had been my councilperson. She lost to now Gov Bredesen

1994- Voted for Sasser and Cooper in the senate races, they lost in the 94 GOP landslide to Frist and Fred Thompson.

Also 94- voted for Bredesen in the gov race. He lost to Sundquist (R), who I did vote for 4 years later because the Dems put up an idiot (John J Hooker)

1999- Voted for the wrong candidate for Metro (city) council. She lost by 19 votes. The woman who won has been great. It was one of those rare elections that either one was fine.

2000- Voted for Gore, and voted for someone I can't remember who ran against Frist (I think his first name was Jeff)

2002- voted for Sherriff Gayle Ray against winner, Jim Cooper, for US House. Voted for Cooper in the general.

02- Voted for Bob Clement for Senate against Alexander. It was a real nose-holding vote. Alexander has been better than I expected. I may vote for his re-election in 08.

04- voted for MYSELF in the state house primary against 20-yr incumbent Dem Gary Odor, I mean Odom. Just couldn't let him go unopposed. I got a third.

Voted for Kerry.

Voted for the GOP nominee for congress against Jim Cooper mainly because I knew him and, even as the GOP nominee, he wrote a letter to the editor badmouthing Bush, mainly over energy policy. I like Cooper though. If I thought it was to be close, I would have voted Cooper.

[Storebought]

In 2000:

Baton Rouge mayor-president race -- Kip Holden (D). It's just as well -- the cornball "Republican" who won that election was voted out in 2004 and replaced with ... Kip Holden.

In 2002:

LA Senate race -- Susie Terrell (R), a poor candidate that I voted for out of party loyalty. Still better than Landrieu, though.

In 2003:

I didn't vote for a single winner in the statewide races of 2003. But the winners of that election were all Democrat cockroaches like Coach Raymond's wife, a.k.a. Gov. Kathleen Blanco; Mitch Landrieu, the lt. governor who happens to be the brother of the senator; Charles Foti, the attorney general from Orleans Parish); go-along-get-along "GOP" secretary of state Fox McKeithen, and all the other future federal prison inmates that populate the LA state government.

I still cannot believe the result: the state could not tolerate even the mediocre reforms of the previous "GOP" Foster administration and regressed to the Edwin Edwards status quo in a single election.

I dropped my LA avatar, and left the state less than a year later.

Did not vote in 2004 -- no TX registration. But if I could have voted, I would have voted for yet another loser, namely Arlene Wohlgemuth (R), against that slimebag Chet Edwards in the regerrymandered TX-#something district.

2000 Gore
2000 NY-01 whoever the Dem was who  ran against Grucci (drawing a blank now), got to vote Grucci out in 02 though
2002 McCall-Gov
2004 Kerry-Pres

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

2000 NY-01 whoever the Dem was who  ran against Grucci (drawing a blank now), got to vote Grucci out in 02 though

Dude, that seat is on crack. In 1999, the Republican holding it switched to being a Democrat, promptly lost the primary, and the seat flipped Republican in 2000, and back Democrat in 2002. It managed to flip 3 times with only 2 elections.

[Cubby]

At State and National level:

2000- Al Gore
2002- Bill Curry (D) CT Governor lost to John Rowland
2004- John Kerry

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

1986:

Stayed Dem though, Bishop won re-election by 11% last year
