Al Gore (the guy who is famous for his documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" regarding global warming)
Al Gore was the 4th incumbent Vice President to lose a presidential election, after John C. Breckinridge (1860), Richard M. Nixon (1960) and Hubert H. Humphrey (1968). He was also the 4th candidate to lose a presidential election after having more nationwide popular votes cast in his favor than any other candidate, after Andrew Jackson (1824), who also received the most electoral votes but not enough to win, Samuel J. Tildon (1876), the only person ever to lose a presidential election with more than 50% of the popular votes, and Grover Cleveland (1892), the only candidate aside from Franklin Roosevelt to win the popular vote in at least three consecutive elections (he won in 1888 and 1896).
