Just for fun...

So much for the legacy of Herbert Lehman, one of the first Wall Street millionaires to run for public office and the son of the man who founded the now-bankrupt Lehman Brothers. Lehman served as Finance Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and was elected Lieutenant Governor of New York in 1928 running on a ticket with gubernatorial candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt.

When Roosevelt ran for President in 1932, Lehman ran for Governor and beat U.S. Attorney Wild Bill Donovan, who would later become the top American spymaster during World War II, by a 57%-39% margin. Lehman was re-elected in 1934, defeating New York City master builder Robert Moses (58%-37%), and again in 1936 and 1938. In his last run for Governor, he narrowly won re-election, 50%-49%, over U.S. Attorney Thomas Dewey.

It's looking like an increasingly unlikely possibility, but if U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) carries Arizona in November, it wouldn't be the first time that a loser of their respective primary won the state in the general election.

In fact, the last time it happened also involved U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Phoenix). Despite losing the 2000 Arizona Republican primary to McCain, George W. Bush went on to carry the state in the general election.
