But in this interesting piece, Hanson first states,
In fact, every Democratic presidential nominee for president and vice president in the last seven elections — except Gore, who dropped out of law school to run for Congress — has been a lawyer.
He then goes on to state,
In the past, law school has not necessarily been considered ideal presidential training. Harry Truman was audacious perhaps because he had tried and failed as a haberdasher. Dwight Eisenhower learned about leadership from his years as a general. George H. W. Bush was a businessman and Ronald Reagan an actor. Even unpopular presidents like Jimmy Carter (farmer) and George W. Bush (businessman) brought different perspectives to the job.
I can't find anything about Jimmah being a lawyer. Either he was, or he wasn't. Which is it?
If we're going to espouse this line of thinking, we have to be accurate. After all, we're right-wingers!
Otherwise, I loved it!
CA....
Carter was a nuclear engineer PhD.
which explains why he personally took charge of the tennis court schedules.
(for those in rio linda: carter was and is an idiot)

He is accurate. Carter ran 8 election cycles ago. He specified the last 7 Dem Presidents and VPs.
Jimmy Carter wasn't a lawyer, nor in the last 7 elections: 2008, 04, 00, 96, 92, 88, 84.
Mr. Hansen is correct.
