That would work if the American electorate had a better long term memory. If something happened just a couple of months ago, we've forgotten about it by the time we go to the polls. We see a lot of that short term memory when people say all the politicians are the same; truth is, they look the same because they both have to rush to moderate positions to appeal to as many undecided voters as they can. Look at their quotes from a year ago, look at what they said/did when they wer trying to win their party nominations, and you'll see a stark contrast between the two.
