Overlooked: Double Helping Of (Re)Hash

With the possibility (albeit still very remote) that Sen. Mary Landrieu's (D-LA) '96 and '02 opponents may both attempt re-matches in '08, one wonders if this would be a first. Namely, have 2 prior nominees for major statewide office, losing to the same opponent, ever attempted re-matches in the same cycle? Let us know. The most recent similar example appears to be when the '90 and '94 GA GOV nominees Johnny Isakson and Guy Millner (who both lost to Gov. Zell Miller), squared off for the '96 SEN nomination, but that of course was for a new office against a new opponent (Max Cleland).
