Full-time Obama is the GOP's worst nightmare.

Do we know where?  I think: keep him in FL and NC.  I believe that PA is already there for us--and OH and IA would then not be necessary.

So far...

Tuesday - Ohio
Wednesday- North C.
Thursday - Florida (both Miami and Jacksonville)


B. Sanders is barnstorming New H. this week too.

A few times a week seemed reasonable. I guess he has completely checked out of his day job.

Just like the Republican congress.

He did swear an oath to protect the Constitution, and there is currently no bigger danger to it than Trump.

I can't remember an incumbent ever campaigning for his desired successor to this degree.
Bush for McCain - no,
Clinton for Gore - no,
Reagan for Bush - no
Johnson for Humphrey - no,
Eisenhower for Nixon - no,
Truman for Stevenson - no,
Coolidge for Hoover - no,
Wilson for Cox - no,
Roosevelt for Taft, perhaps,
Cleveland for Bryan, not even close.

If anyone can think of an incumbent President ever campaigning anywhere close to this level of intensity, please chime in!

Fine. Biden can finally achieve his dream of being president for 3 months. Why not?

This is misleading. George W. was enormously unpopular in 2008 and would have been a liability for McCain, perhaps more so than Palin was. In 2000, Gore was unhappy with Clinton for his personal mishaps and hoped to separate himself from him because of this. H.W. appeared with Dole a handful of times, as did Reagan for Bush: keeping in mind Reagan was 76 by 1988 and dealing with Alzheimer's. As with the W. scenario, Johnson would have been a liability for Humphrey. Eisenhower did, actually, campaign for Nixon towards the latter end of the '60 Campaign.

Once you move beyond the 60s, you're dealing with an entirely different political reality.

Bush -- extremely unpopular
Clinton -- somewhat unpopular with independents; Gore erred on the side of caution
Reagan -- not in good health; did not have a good relationship with GHWB
Johnson -- extremely unpopular
Eisenhower -- would have hurt his "transcending politics" image
Truman -- unpopular

Earlier cases predate the "modern" presidential campaign and aren't good for comparison.
