37. All campaigns hit turbulence
Dubya was almost derailed by McCain last time. Clinton was nearly destroyed by Paula Jones and the draft controversy in '92. Poppy got trounced in Iowa in '88, finishing third behind Pat Robertson and Bob Dole. Reagan got trounced in Iowa in '80. Carter was nearly ruined by his idiotic Playboy magazine interview in '76.

But when all was said and done, they all won their party's nomination and became President of the United States.
