While your comments are accurate I don't think that matters from the electoral point of view as most voters neither know nor care to know such information. It is, after all, about perception for most voters and if things are not going well in Iraq...'going well' to voters basically means if Americans are dying....then I still think GWB has an electoral potential problem.

When people run for President (and only when people run for President), the candidate is not the "candidate" on the ballot. The pres. candidates' names appear on the ballot, but the actual votes are cast for delegates to the conventions in the primaries, and Presidential Electors in the general election.
So, swapping support may be difficult for ordinary candidates, but it is relatively easy and simple when running for President.
