In the famous Warner-Warner VA senate race in 1996, Mark Warner lost to unbeatable titan John Warner 52%-47%, then came back and won the Governor election in 2001 and then won John Warner's old seat in 2008 by whooping Jim Gilmore.
John Thune lost the 2002 SD senate race by 524 votes, then came back two years later and beat the Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, and then in 2010 Democrats didn't even try.
Jeanne Shaheen lost to John Sununu in the 2002 NH senate race, won the rematch in 2008.
Charlie Baker ran for Governor of Mass. in 2010, lost to Deval Patrick, was given an absolute gift by getting to run against Martha Coakley, won the mansion in 2014, and is now the most popular governor in America.
Those are the examples I could think of immediately.
