I would say that Ryan will not be the de-facto front-runner in 2016 because Republicans have a tendency of supporting actual VPs while shunning VP candidates on a losing ticket. Only once to my knowledge has a losing Republican VP went on to gain any real steam in a primary: Bob Dole, and it took 20 years after his loss for Republicans to come around to him.
If we go by tradition, Santorum will be the front-runner, while Christie and others will certainly jump in and give him a run for his money.
