I don’t know if you’re joking or not, dude. carter was a disaster for sure. But if you really think Kennedy challenging carter in 1980 is the same as any caucasion democrat challenging the first African American president ever, I have to say you’re denying the obvious.

Dear Fellow Dude,
It is my opinion that, if Obama makes as bad a mess by 2012 that Carter made by 1980, race will be a minor factor. Race should not be a factor at all, anyway! Americans need to get past the charisma and look at the facts.
I know a lady who, in a breathless bit of excitement, exclaimed,”I just helped elect the first Black man President!” Like that was the overriding factor. Well, it should never be. Many of us know better.
