What happens to the losers during a Presidential campaign run? Do they by default get their Senate seat or Govenors office back, or are they out of office until the next election when they can run again?

They retain their positions. Sarah Palin never stopped being governor. John McCain was not up for re-election so he remains senator. Joe Biden could have (theoretically) lost his senate seat because he was up for re-election but he was re-elected to the senate. He and Barack Obama will be replaced by someone appointed by the governor of their states.
