[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most outgoing 2-term presidents campaign for their party's new nominee.[/quote] Actually, this is not true in recent history. I was listening to a political podcast about how it is actually a bit uncommon. George W. Bush was obviously unpopular towards the end of his term, and was not active in campaigning. I will leave the same was true about Clinton, Although I was still young towards the end of his presidency. While it is permitted, it has not been very common[/quote] Recent years are an aberration from the norm. Gore apparently pushed Clinton away because of the sex scandals, and Republicans wanted to distance themselves from Bush II. But before then, it was expected that presidents would campaign for their party's presidential nominee, just as they campaign on behalf of their party's Congressional representatives, as well.
