26. You're right.

Carter had too much integrity to play ball, which added to his overall ineffectiveness. Brilliant person and wonderful human, but an ineffective president.

Dems like Tip O'Neil didn't realize Carter was serious about his campaign promises. "We have to bring our own lunch?!"

I think about the Carter years when I look at the current election, too. I think a couple of our leading candidates could fall into the same trap: they be great guys, but unable to get their ideas implemented.
