I got worried on the first two pages when Bobby wasn't mentioned.

His 1968 campaign was honestly one of the most inspiring political campaigns that's ever been ran-even back then can can you think of any other white politicians who could stop a race riot with a speech? Bobby felt the pain of the nation in 1968-any of his speeches from the 60's like the South African day of affirmation, or the mindless menace of violence show his political wisdom. The fact that these's speeches still inspire people today shows how influential he was

Jack Kemp, John McCain (Only the 2000, no Palin version!), 1960 Richard Nixon, Barry Goldwater, Thomas Dewey (though his ties with J. Edgar Hoover give me minor doubts), are all I can think of.

Robert Taft is an honorable mention, since I doubt isolationism during the Cold War would have been wise at all.

Right off the bat: Al Gore. He won the 2000 election, but never had the opportunity to actually serve. If John Kerry had won in 2004, Iraq would have turned out much differently and we may have had progressive health care reform; Ross Perot in 1992 (no NAFTA), George McGovern (immediate withdrawal from Vietnam) in 1972, George Wallace in 1968 (withdrawal from Vietnam, and the only candidate in 1968 to oppose intervention in Vietnam).
