9. It is standard for Republicans to nominate the previous loser.
Reagan lost in 1976 and was nominated in 1980. GHW Bush lost in 1980 and was nominated in 1988. Dole lost in 1988 and was nominated in 1996. GW Bush was the exception because there was no obvious successor from 1996. McCain lost in 2000 and was nominated in 2008. It's obviously Romney's turn.
