I imagine that many here were urging Obama to withdraw based upon Hillary's stronger polling numbers against McCain?

to this election? He was far less known than she is now. What are they going to find out about her that they already don't know and is any new information going to necessarily be good for her candidacy? The same could be said for Trump. The two most unpopular major party nominees going head to head. Wonderful.

.
HRC has over a 90% identifiability rate, where most in this country know her and have solidified their thoughts.
BHO was still unknown by most of the country and had racial issues to fight with.
This analogy fails miserably.
