The midterms gave potential 2016 presidential nominees a chance to hit the campaign trail early — for other candidates, of course.

Bill and Hillary Clinton maintained a frenzied schedule on the campaign trail for Democrats. As did Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley. But as it turns out, the candidates they endorsed — like so many Democrats — didn’t fare so well, despite their travels.

Big name Republicans who might end up running for president in 2016 hit the stump too: Chris Christie, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Rick Perry.
