I'll add to that George W. Bush squeaked by in 2004 thanks to the incumbent vote, running against John Kerry, the most boring neoliberal candidate the Democrats had to offer, and Bush's campaign had to invent swift boating and utilize it against Kerry (showing the GOP will gladly throw veterans to the elements for power) to gain Bush's second term.
