Hard to Beat was created in 2004.
Incumbents.
Yes.
PACs tend to give more money to incumbents because incumbents have a higher likelihood of winning reelection. PACs want to support candidates who are already in power and have a proven track record of supporting their interests. Additionally, supporting incumbents can help PACs maintain access and influence in policymaking processes.
Political parties work to reelect incumbents. This includes the politicians as well as the average voter who wants his guy to win.
more than 85% of PAC contributions in recent elections have gone to incumbents

Incumbents have run in seven of the last twelve presidential elections.
