I think when it came to his 5 presidential campaigns, Clay had a streak of bad luck:

1) Clay was a master legislator, who found common ground, and gots results.

However, to get the results, Clay would have to take votes which could be interpreted as a "flip flopping" on the issues, even though he has a few core principles.

2) In 4 of his 5 campaigns (1824, 1832, 1840, and 1848), he was running against popular Generals. Generals were typically more popular than politicians, when running for the Presidency.

3) He probably couldnt get past the Corrupt Bargain charges of 1824.

4) 1844--Clay ran against James Polk. Polk was also a former House Speaker and was Governor of Tennessee.

However, Andrew Jackson was still alive, head of the Democratic Party, and extremely popular... Polk was Jackson's protege: Young Hickory.

It didnt help that The Whigs won the 1840 election. Harrison and Tyler moved into the White House. Why should the voters choose the Whigs--who threw Tyler out of the party...and replace Tyler with a guy who already lost the Presidency three previous times (1824, 1832, and 1840)??
