Jimmy Carter for President

[Must_B_Free]

he looks damn good on hardball and he IS eligbile.

1. Yeah, and GA wouldn't vote for him

:eyes:

2. He's too old-over the hill for such a rigerous job. nt

3. He'd be great because what we need right now are ambassadors

but unfortunately, when people I know think of Carter, they instantly recall Iran and high gas prices (and knowing how teflon-coated these neo-con bullies are, the truth will never be widely accepted.)

[Calmypal]

4. High interest rates and inflation? Was he TRYING to kill the economy?

I don't see him pulling a Cleveland anytime in the near future.

Another thing: Cleveland won the popular vote, but Harrison won the electoral college. Carter lost in a landslide.

5. What?!

Jimmy Carter lost pretty hard to Reagan... would we want to bring that embarassment back to haunt us? What's next, Dukakis 2008?

6. IIRC, Reagan was an embarassingly bad candidate

when he ran against Ford for the nomination and again against Carter in '76- (caveat- I'm not old enough to remember this CLEARLY-lol)

I don't think Carter would stand a snowball's chance in hell because of the smear job the neo cons did. However, he'd be great as a prez because he walks his talk (and vice versa)- but since that apparently isn't considered a character issue anymore, that wouldn't buy him much credibility.

7. Heehee, I second that!

He is much more forceful these days too. Go Jimmy!
