As many have stated, small sample size...
However, I would suggest it is possible that being a governor gives more of a political advantage than being a Senator, just a being an incumbent is usually an even bigger advantage.
As far as I can tell, all presidents elected after WWII had previously held one of four jobs - Vice President, Governor, Senator, or General.
Before then, there were a some whose highest position was cabinet official or representative - I think those six categories cover just about everyone to win so far. Anyone know of any counterexamples?
