I'd have to do some googling but I wonder how many times in the past someone has run 3 times?

Clearly it happened see Roosevelt... But to run and loose 2 times and then run again I think is different.

Also would you really only count the times the candidate actually got the nomination? Because then 2008 doesn't really count...
