Incumbency isn't really much of an advantage.....we've had plenty of one term presidents.
Since the Great Depression, the only incumbents that have lost are Jimmy Carter and Bush Sr.
...and Gerald Ford but he barely counts as "incumbent."
Since FDR beat Hoover, incumbents are 10-3. >75% odds are quite an advantage!
Granted this might be irrelevant since Carter is the president most Obama detractors compare him to, but still.
EDIT: I forgot to count Truman as an incumbent.
