      How does a Canuck end up in Sweet Home Alabama? There's an interesting story in there somewhere.
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

          I never discount the importance of political leadership, even though its effect is hard to measure. No matter how you define leadership after the fact, the people of the time didn't judge Carter to have it. So he didn't.

            That's because you live in a town based around that illusion

              Gotta agree with dan here. You can't be a good leader if the people of the time don't trust you to lead, by definition.

                  41% is getting beat like a drum. Only slightly better than Mondale.

                    I don't think using the vote as an indication of whether people thought he was a good leader is valid. If you think 41% is an indication of him being a good leader, you'd have to think that Bush was a great leader.
