I did not vote for Mr. Carter in 1976. I found his overt evangelism off-putting, so I voted Libertarian for my fellow Virginian, Roger MacBride. I later came to realize Mr. Carter was utterly sincere and not put-on, so I was enthusiastically in his corner for 1980. Sadly, Ray-Gun was almost bullet-proof politically. But, I was proud I'd done the right thing.
I love your book about him, and I am very fond of him as well! I was his campaign photographer in MA, and Rosalynn's in Penn, and I was on the Inaugural Photography team. xo, Mikki Ansin
Such a lovely article, Jonathan. Thank you for writing it. I will remember many parts of it. I'm eagerly waiting for my copy of American Reckoning! I simply gobble your sentences. Might I share here, my bit of news that I am on a mission to imitate Mark Twain who released his work at the end of the Civil War as a signal that it was okay to begin laughing together again. My memoir, ITCHING TO LOVE, has just been posted for preorders. www.shelleymickle.com Since I'm working with the publicist who handled Michelle Obama's books, I have a great team dedicated to spreading laughing as self-medication to ease the pain of the last decade.
I haven't read anyone better on the subject of President Carter, and many others besides. The Trump contrast I have pondered for a long time...it is a deep and lasting compliment to Papa.
Loved this tribute, and your ongoing efforts to better acquaint us all with his visionary accomplishments. He deserved to be better honored- let’s speak soon
