[Mr. Morden]

i dont think losing an election automatically ends your presidential chances.

george bush (both of them) lost election(s).  bill clinton lost an election. richard nixon lost elections. lbj lost an election.  fdr lost elections.

As did Obama.  But all of them, except Nixon, won subsequent elections before becoming president.  And Nixon was kind of a special case, as he was already a major national figure by 1968.  Coleman certainly will not be going in to 2012.
