"win election against a single-term Democratic president..."
1968 Chicago Democratic convention and all.

But your point is well taken.
And I for one, am not happy about the notion of Mr. Obama running against Mr. Gingrinch.
I don't think it would be the "cakewalk" that so many others seem to have convinced themselves it would be, and it would certainly end up being one of the nastiest elections in our history.
We don't need that right now.
I want the bland white guy to run against the bland black guy...
