Harold Ford, Jr: He'll spend a year or two "punditing" working with the DNC, the Blue Dogs or a Washington Think Tank and probably getting married (I do wonder if he might have done better had he had a wife and kids).
He’ll then either serve at cabinet level in some administration (either Democrat or Republican) or some other position as a precursor to finally running, and winning, a place in the senate, probably in 2016 (when Alexander probably steps down).
Rest assured, he’s young, charismatic and moderate and we haven’t seen the last of him
Ned Lamont: Back into business, I don’t see much further political involvement from him, perhaps a run for congress, but he’s had his big chance and, frankly, he blew it.
George Allen: Lobbyist no doubt, probably for something like the NRA, he’ll rake in the money and potentially run for Governor again, though there are already a number of republicans who would probably fancy their chances within VA for that post, he too might wind up in an administration or simply working for the RNC.
Rick Santorum: Lobbyist, not hard to say, he will continue to write and will probably continue to grow into an important figure on the socially conservative wing of the GOP, might figure in a future GOP administration, but personally I doubt it, he’ll keep writing and infuriating liberals and delighting conservatives.
Jim Talent: He’ll probably look to make a return, perhaps as Governor, he was always a gifted politician and was undone more by the national mood rather than anything he did.
Lincoln Chafee: In his speech sounded as though he was interested in returning to politics, but in reality the idyllic life of an aging new England Brahmin beckons.
Bob Ehrlich: No Idea.
Mark Kennedy: No real idea… back to Congress, run for Governor… ran a poor campaign and has no seat in congress anymore… not much in the way of prospects you could say.
