U.S. Vice Presidential candidates who lost, their party, and the year 1. Henry Cabot Lodge, Republican, 1960 2. Pat Choate, Reform, 1996 3. Sarah Louise Palin, Republican, 2008 4. John A. Logan, Republican, 1884 Trivia: As commander of the Army of the Tennessee Logan was a hero of the Battle of Atlanta and commissioned an enormous cyclorama of the battle for his campaign. After an odyssey that included time in a broke circus and rotting in a barn the cyclorama was restored, made (low tech) 3-D with wagon wheels/branches/etc., given revolving audience seating and is now [an attraction](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlanta_Cyclorama) on the grounds of the Atlanta Zoo. ---

Arthur Sewall, Democrat, 1896 and Thomas Watson, Populist, 1896 I include them as a dual entry because they were running with the same Presidential candidate. William Jennings Bryan was the Presidential nominee for both the Democratic and the Populist parties in 1896. But the two parties nominated different Vice Presidential candidates. ---
