Name a Presidential Candidate That Lost an Election

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Family Feud now begins their game show with a bulls eye round where getting an obvious number one answer can get you extra money. I don't normally watch Family Feud, but tonight I decided to sit down and watch it. During the Bulls Eye round the question came up: Name a Presidential Candidate that Lost an Election.

The obvious answer is John McCain, considering he is the last presidential candidate to lose an election.

After eight years of demonizing George W. Bush, the Democrats convinced the American People that the election in 2008 was all about Bush, and that the fight for the Democrat nomination was the real election - the presidential election was no more than a formality.

The two answers by the contestants?

The first answer given was Hillary Clinton (wasn't the Democratic Nomination the real election?)

And when she was X'd out, the other person said: George W. Bush.

I could only shake my head.
