rank the presidents since 1968....

[MarkDel]

This is very, very easy.

1. Reagan
2. George W. Bush
3. Nixon
4. George Bush Sr.
5. Clinton
6. Ford
7. The alien who took control of Jimmy Carter's body in about 1974.

Supersoulty,

Yes, but virtually all of Ford's comeback was fueled by Carter's inept campaign and this amazing ability to stick his foot in his mouth. Ford actually would have come all the way back and won, but in a debate, he stated that Eastern Europe was not under Soviet domination...and then given a chance to correct himself, he stood by his sub-moronic comment.

The 1976 race was one of the saddest chapters in the history of the Republic. We had a borderline Marxist (Carter) pretending to be an orthodox Christian moderate, running against...an empty suit. Carter may be one of the most vile and despicable men in the history of the United States, but Ford was just plain DUMB.

Revised from my original page one rankings:

1 Reagan
2. HW Bush
3. Ford
4. W. Bush
5. Clinton
6. Nixon

I refuse to rank Carter, as I've decided he doesn't count a s a real President.

John,

That's a good point about Carter. There may have been no more potentially destructive figure in the history of our nation.
