Also Rans

Here's a WSJ review of five biographies of men who ran for and lost the presidency. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203889904577201512204028158.html

Scott Farris has written an excellent book entitled "Almost President" in which he takes a look at the candidates who did not win the Presidency. Much like the classic "They Also Ran" from decades ago, it does a fine job of helping us better understand the candidates which failed to capture the American electorate's facncy. I recommend it to all who have an interest in Presidential elections.
