Probably. If we look at the Republican primary, Jeb Bush hasn't held office since 2007, Pataki since 2006, Gilmore since 2002. It certainly weakens his momentum, but it's not impossible for somebody to come out of retirement and win a major election. John Kasich left Congress in January 2001, and was out of politics until running for Governor in 2010, winning handily. Of course the longer one waits, that makes it more difficult for someone to rally support. Gilmore, for example, hasn't been in office since 2002, so it would only be voters over 30 that might even recall who he was and when he served.
