I think George Bush Sr won with a message of "I may not be Reagan, but at least I am not Dukakis" I think Bill Clinton won against Bush Sr with the message "I am human. All too human. I am not a robot. (but i'd sleep with one)" I think Bush Jr won with a message of "I leave it in my pants. I don't even have a nickname for it" And then won again with a message of "I'm not John Kerry. Is that really the best you can do?"
So I think that presidents often get elected against a backdrop of their predecessor.
