Who was the last democratic primary candidate that lost in one year and came back to become the Democratic nominee years later?
I know Republicans have done it recently. McCain lost in 2000 and is the nominee in 2008. Reagan lost in 1976 and won in 1980.

| 1. Humphrey ran against JFK in '60 |
|
then got the nomination in '68 but that was an atypical year to say the least.

| 4. Gore ran in 88, lost, came back in 2000 |
|
His run in 88 is usually credited with having gotten him the VP slot in 92.
