Hmmm, election campaigns as predictors of success in the Oval Office? Obviously the strong and effective campaign run by George Bush in 2004 and his subsequent amazingly successful 2nd term prove your thesis. Beyond that we have Jimmy Carter’s successful campaign in 1976 and his brilliant single term in office. Then we have George Bush the elders strong, successful campaign in 1988 that was a precursor to his enormously successful single term in office. Hmmm, perhaps all that an election campaign shows is the ability to win a particular election against a particular candidate rather than showing much of anything relevant to ability or competence in governing.
