My God. This has always, from the begining of the Republic, been a time honored strategy. Those Presidents that didn't use it have often lost. When you are a President running for reelection, you are always supposed to run on a few good points about your administration, but make it seem as though the second term will be more vigorous, basically a fresh start. You always try to get the populace to believe that they are voting for young blood, unless it is one of those rare races where expirience really counts.
George H. W. Bush ran solely on what he had done as President and lost.
Even in Britain, Winston Churchill lost the Prime Ministership, because his party ran on the idea that they were close to winning the war, but offered nothing fresh.
Only a rank amateur, or an extreme partisan would bother to point this out.
