Eisenhower could have been convinced to. If he had, I think Kennedy wouldn't have ran.

Besides Eisenhower, Obama seems the second most likely to have ran. He is pretty ambitious. If he hadn't, he probably would have tried to convince Biden or a similar very close ally of his to run.

Clinton is the third most likely to have ran, though Bush is pretty close. In late 2007, Bush was only mildly unpopular. Clinton was in a similar situation in late 1999. Besides those four, I don't see Reagan running for a third term.

I voted Eisenhower and Obama.
