Are you and 'Huh' related? Cowen hasn't been Taoiseach during a GE campaign yet - when he is and loses he'll be the same as Bruton, a Taoiseach elected by default (in Cowens case because Ahern resigned and in Bruton's case because the FF/Lab government fell) who then went on to lose a GE campaign as party leader and outgoing Taoiseach - it's not that different to comprehend!
