People here waste time predicting which US Senator will win the nomination year after year. The last actively serving US Senator to win the presidency ...

1. Plenty of Senators have been nominated (or come very close), so it makes sense to think they'll continue to be nominated. Kerry, (McCain), (Bradley), Dole ....

2. Senators can win the presidency. It's stiffs who have trouble. There just happens to be a lot of overlap between the two (ex. Kerry, Dole, Gore....). JFK was a Senator, but not a stiff.

I didn't say that that nomination is impossible. I simply said that history is not in their favor.
