OK, I've noticed a pattern.
1976: Reagan is the runner up in the primary, becomes nominee in 1980.
1980: HW Bush is the runner up in the primary, becomes nominee in 1988.
1984: No primary challenge, Reagan runs for re-election.
1988: Bob Dole is the runner up in the primary, becomes nominee in 1996.
1992: No primary challenge, HW Bush runs for re-election.
1996: Pat Buchanan is the runner up in the primary, pattern is broken this time.
2000: John McCain is the runner up in the primary, becomes nominee in 2008.
2004: No primary challenge, W Bush runs to be elected
2008: Romney is the runner up in the primary, becomes nominee in 2012.
2012: Santorum is the runner up in the primary...
So 5/6 times, the runner up one year is the nominee the next go round. Based on this trend, Santorum could be the next Republican nominee.
