There is no reason that any incumbent should have to campaign for re-election. If the incumbent has been doing the job, then everyone knows and he/she stands to be re-elected. The idea of spending millions of dollars for more false promises and lies is rediculous. This goes for EVERY elected official from the POTUS down to town council. Let the bashing begin.

the reason Obama MUST campaign for re-election....his track record....stealing an excerpt from your post "...everyone knows and he/she stands..."....'nuff said.
