What to Name Your Political Loser Geeklet :)

Have you seen that commercial where the young man bemoans the fact that his dad is convinced that he’ll always be second-best?

Much like him, some people are doomed to go down in history as “also-rans.” If you’re in the market for a baby name that says “My kid will almost reach the stars, but will get passed by by some smooth-talking schmuck at the last minute,” check out these names courtesy of men who were beaten in their attempts to win the White House. I’ve eliminated common first names, like Thomas and John. Names in italics might be suitable for girls. Several are surefire ways to make sure your kid ends up hating you. 🙂
