Yeah.

He sort of did himself in right after the election when he claimed he really didn’t want to run and he really didn’t want to be president.

Remember: He is the guy who lost to the guy who lost to Obama, and he is the guy who lost to Obama. That sort of stinks on a resumé.

Has either political party ever sent the same nominee into the general election twice?

Well Obama isn't running next time (at least at this point). He'd be running against the woman who lost to Obama and then worked for Obama and then left Obama when the sh2t hit the fan.

wasn’t that the case with Richard Nixon?

The Democrats did it numerous times. And lost every time they tried it.

1896 William Jennings Bryan
1900 William Jennings Bryan
1908 William Jennings Bryan
1952 Adlai E. Stevenson II
1956 Adlai E. Stevenson II

Yes William Jenning Bryan-ran three times for president and lost three times: 1896 (famous cross of gold speech), 1900, and 1908. He knew he could not defeat TR so did not run in 1904. Also WJB sought the nomination in 1912 but lost to Wilson.

So he was a three time loser perhaps a four time loser.

Richard M. Nixon... for some reason, i am thinking that this happened more frequently in the "olden" days...

The GOP nominated New York governor Thomas Dewey in 1944 and 1948, and he lost both times.
