Which failed presidential candidate is the preceeding poster most like?

I'm gonna do you a solid and say who you want said, Walter Mondale.

George McGovern.

You must have quite a low opinion of George McGovern.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Hmmmm.... I don't know much about his ideology. I would guess moderate to libertarian-ish Republican. Goldwater is overused for Conservatives, and the Republicans have a much lower amount of failed candidates than the Democrats. I'm just gonna say... Bob Dole?

George Wallace.

Most people would take that as an insult.

Goldwater would be too obvious and too redundant. Ron Paul the same. I'm trying to think of something unique yet fitting. I guess if we're talking primary candidates then Richard Russell or Robert Taft might be worthy of mention. I'm gonna be random and just say John W. Davis of West Virginia.

'Kay. Someone mentioned Scoop Jackson a while back and I guess that fits. Liberal domestic policy, hardline foreign policy. However, he never made it out of the primaries. Once you get into the general election, it's harder to find guys to fit you. But the one that comes up, to me at least, is your pal HHH. Half and half on foreign policy, but a hawk on Vietnam until polling proved him wrong, and of course a nice happy liberal on domestic.

Barry Goldwater is obvious. Too obvious. Obvious to leave me searching for an alternative. What springs to mind is Charles Evan Hughes. Hawkish on World War I before it was popular, also a liberal (though that likely meant something different, so it may be safe to assume he supported de fact laissez faire). It's really hard to find a good example. Maybe Dole? Nah.

GoldwaterRepublican: Goldwater of course. Other possibilities could be Charles Evan Hughes (I believe I mentioned him), Richard Nixon in 1960, John W. Davis, Alton B. Paker, and Samuel J. Tilden.

Clinton1996: You're a New Democrat, right? Not sure where to place you. I'm'a go with Mike Dukakis, Al Gore, and Al Smith.

Thomas Jefferson (1796), DeWitt Clinton (1812), Martin Van Buren (1840, 1848), John Park Hale (1852), George McClellan (1864), Grover Cleveland (1888), Alton B. Parker (1904), Barry Goldwater (1964), and of course George McGovern (1972). Not sure which one hits the nail on the head, so I went with all of 'em.

George Romney (1968)? possibly? If not that then Nixon in 1960...

Likely not like George Romney, who governed largely as a liberal and probably wouldn't change that much for the campaign (better than Nelson Rockefeller, though).

As for you, you seem to be a pretty standard conservative, so I'll go with Richard Nixon (1960) and Robert S. Dole (1996).
