The Best Losing Presidential Candidates
June 30, 2014 @ 9:30 AM - 10:45 AM
This event is not open to the general public.
What do Adlai Stevenson, George McGovern, Daniel Webster, and Wendell Willkie have in common?
Each ran for President and lost.
And each was an outstanding man who might well have made a great President.
In this unique multimedia presentation, I will share my list of the ten best men to run for President and lose. I’ll offer fascinating glimpses into the men, the times and the campaigns. We will explore why each man failed in his bid and do a bit of speculation on the different directions our country might have taken had he election been decided differently. For instance, how would America have responded on the morning of 9-11 if Al Gore had been President? It’s fun to think about and debate!
