I beg you to elaborate, sir...
edit: I think I do see where you are coming from, though. The incumbent already has his name out, people know him and his politics, and you see this as a Good Thing. But, I dare say, the incumbent would have to campaign harder to try to win over the people inevitably lost when he didn't come through with his campaign promises. Look at how middle-of-the-road Dubya has been in the past six months, trying to please as many people as possible and avoiding his neo-con agenda for the time being. The only proof of that you need to see is the parade of minorities at the RNC.
