Famous Losing Election Slogans
Off the top of my head I can only think of one right now:

"I will raise your taxes"

Anyone remember other losing slogans?

3. "America Needs Nuclear Waste"
Okay, I made that one up, but it does sound like something the GOP would use.

Another nugget from the late great perpetual presidential hopeful, Pat Paulsen:
