Times have changed- nominations are usually wrapped up by winner in the primaries before the convention. I do not see how there can ever be another dark horse candidate. The only conceivable way to have what might be called a dark horse would be if an unchallenged candidate would suddenly drop out just before the election, but the hastily chosen replacement would probably not win.
