Cotton and Gardner are rather similar in age and political experience. Assuming both become Senators, it won't matter that Gardner served one more term in the House.
Cotton's advantage is his background. He's a military guy with a JD from Harvard. That's appealing on a ticket.
Gardner's advantage is that he comes from a valuable swing state.
Whether either has a career outside the Senate may come down to what they do in the office, and whether they're able to become national figures. Compare Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Kelly Ayotte to their fellow Republicans elected in 2010 like Pat Toomey, Jon Boozman, John Hoeven and Ron Johnson.
