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.)
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.
