Governors usually only become Senators after term limitations are up.

Ted, Huh? Being senator is far more prestigious than being governor..... Some people want prestige, others want to actually do something, to achieve something. Just take a back-bencher like Obama. He has not achieved a single thing in 2 years in Senate (before he left it to campaign). Joe

Ted, > Being senator is far more prestigious than being governor..... The last time a sitting senator was elected President was JFK. Since then it's all been former governors or VPs. Or in the case of Eisenhower, a former general. Tenchusatsu EDIT: Eisenhower was before JFK, my bad.
