"Carter posesses no gravitas"
Not to me and you maybe, but he is an ex president.

In a moment in history I would like to forget, some friends of mine gave us Jimmy Carter.
In the Republican convention prior to the 1976 election, Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford were in a tight contest. That was when the nominee was still elected by state delegates. It finally came down to a small group, 11 I think, from Hazelhurst, MS. They went for Ford and proudly display a picture taken with him in their home.
Had they voted for Ronald Reagan we most likely would not have had Jimmy Carter. Ford was too closely connected to Nixon and no matter how wrong it may have been, he had the image of a dumb, clumsy, dolt.
