I have to go with George McGovern. In WWII he was a bomber pilot who flew 35 combat missions over Europe, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. The Air Medal and stayed in the Air Force to train pilots. Anyone who flew combat missions is a tough MF, regardless of their political beliefs.

Another high up on my list, Barry Goldwater.

BTW, I don't know of any great women who have lost.

Samuel Tilden - Alleged to have owned a huge collection of pornography (srsly)

John C. Fremont - AFAIK the only bastard to be a major party nominee. His campaign slogan was "Free soil! Free men! Fremont!", to which Dems added, "And free love."

Aaron Burr - killed Alexander Hamilton, thus postponing any musicals about him for over 200 years
