If you're waiting for a guy who could win but is not running, the candidate is Santorum. So how does Santorum get destroyed in his own state in a Senate race and then go on to win the presidency?
What are you smoking?

Santorum faced a political perfect storm. He faced the son of a very popular former governor who was running as a social conservative. The only thing he had to run on was his support of the war, which had become very unpopular. In a national election, Santorum would have little problem carrying Pennsylvania. That alone would probably be enough to win him the election.

It worked for Lincoln and Polk.
