Carter was severely damaged by a primary challenge from Ted Kennedy yet was leading Reagen until the debates. - Mop Jun 8, 21:23 14
- don't forget that Anderson pulled more voters from Carter than Reagan -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 8, 22:18
- Carter was ahead because the people answer the polls were drunk off their ass. - Bacon Jun 8, 21:25 12
  - Carter attempted to do something about the impending gas crisis - amoxy Jun 8, 21:38 3
    - Carter was a hack. Some good ideas but he was a hack -- nm - Bacon Jun 8, 21:56 1
      - How so? I don't understand what you mean by "hack" in this context. - Mop Jun 8, 22:03
    - Carter had plenty of great ideas yet was disastrous at execution. But I do not come here to lament a former president. -- nm - Mop Jun 8, 21:41
  - Again, I say: the fact that even in that environment, an incumbent could have any kind of a lead speaks to the power of incumbency. -- nm - Mop Jun 8, 21:33
  - the gas shortages were totally OPEC driven. it had nothing to do with Carter -- nm - moles Jun 8, 21:28 6
    - When you are President you get credit, and blame for many things you have no control over. It's just how it is. -- nm - Bacon Jun 8, 21:35 5
      - i don't disagree. and by objective measures and indicators, the economy is better now than when Obama took office - moles Jun 8, 21:39 4

        The problem was Bush had things in freefall and they were falling fast when Obama took office and his first year. - Bacon Jun 8, 21:50 2
        
        except he has done stuff about it. he stopped the freefall -- nm - moles Jun 8, 21:52 1
        
        If we don't double dip recession he should be re elected. If we double dip he will get all the blame. -- nm - Bacon Jun 8, 21:53
Noun, a verb, and "tax cuts" -- nm - Generic 2012 GOP Nominee Jun 8, 21:18 3
- Sea Lion, Humping, Tax Cuts -- nm - Sarah Palin Jun 8, 21:20 2
  - that would be the most coherent policy statement she's ever made -- nm - moles Jun 8, 21:20 1
    - Sea Lions Humping is how we knew the British were coming. -- nm - Bacon Jun 8, 21:21
