Dennis: Political Zombies Among Us

Gingrich went on to say in the article, when asked about those who said he was NOW politically dead:

"The same people who said I was dead in June, or the people who said I was dead in Iowa, those people?" Gingrich said. "They're about as accurate as they have been the last two times they were wrong."

Newt Gingrich is a member of a very small club of politically un-dead public figures/candidates/possible GOP Presidential nominee Zombies, including Richard Nixon (loss for President, loss for Governor), Ronald Reagan (loss for President in '68, '76) GHW Bush (loss for Senate in '64 and '70, loss for President '80) George W. Bush (loss for the House of Representatives in '78) who, by following their own personal plan, ultimately became president/Dennis Mansfield. More here. (AP file photo of movie zombies)

Question: Can you think of other political zombies who are still shambling among us?
