        Wouldn't the analog have to add "If Obama had backed out of a debate he had agreed to"

        They don't even bother trying to explain why what may or may not have happened in 2008 should determine what happens now

        it's called an analogy. It's a common argumentative tool.

        Whether something is analogous or disanalogous to 2008 tells us nothing about the normative value of the thing in question

        @leoluminary The people are done with the procedures and normative standards being decided by the undemocratic party elites.

        Every election is exactly the same. That's why Obama's going to win again this year.

        @leoluminary 2008 is ancient history. This is current events. Clinton is certainly no Obama.
