An _incentive_ to oppose I can see.  But I see no duty or obligation to not do your job for 11 months just because you don&#x27;t like it.  Brinksmanship may be a common part of the job, but it&#x27;s not in the job description.<p>While I believe the immediate announcements are token and positioning (the more obstinate they appear, the better the odds of a more moderate candidate) it doesn&#x27;t make me LIKE it any better.
