You might be surprised (or not) how little sense people had even waaaay back when Jimmy was running for Pres in '76. It was the only time in my life that it nearly came to fisticuffs when I said, "No problem, we can disagree." Seems one Georgian in particular thought everyone had to vote for Jimmy because 'he's from Georgia' even though of all people, Georgians should have known better having already had the horrid experience of Jimmy the Governor.
Clearly disproves that being a state governor prepares one to be a good POTUS.
Of course, Clinton might say, "depends on what your definition of 'good' is."
