Jimmy Carter is widely known as one of the worst presidents to serve. I think that people are judging him too harshly; he is an overall great person and deserves to be recognized as such.

Jimmy Carter, the 39th president, was a very simple and relatable man from Plains, Georgia. His ideals appealed to the Southern democrats. Washington was in chaos after the resignation of Nixon and the citizens of America were tiered of the government’s drama. This is what made Carter so popular in the 1976 election.

He promised America he would always be honest with them: “I’ll never tell a lie”. (“Jimmy Carter”, 2009). This seemed to win over America for the moment because he won

     Cannon stresses that Reagan's governorship performance, and run for the nomination in 1968 serve as preparation for what is to come. Reagan's ability to "turn on the charm" (Cannon, 1981, 152), is perfected during his governorship and his losses in the presidential campaign of 1968, "helped prepare him for the victories which lay ahead," (Cannon, 1981, 165).

He targeted those that lost primaries because he believed that they were in need of something to do. In fact, Carter sent personal letters that year to almost every Democrat who lost a primary election. He also knew that having these supporters invest in his effort is vital to his success. In this quote, Carter is talking about how beneficial it would be if a certain candidate loses because he could bring more supporters for him.
