prediction for winner, Gerald Ford, George Washington, William McKinley, James Garfield, or Harry Truman.  Probably one of the five.

McKinley was awful. What did Garfield or Ford do that was so great?

Anyone want to join me in voting off Coolidge?

Tell me one thing he did right as president...he tried to keep the government out of the economy, and ensure peace through the Kellogg-Briand Pact.  We all know how those turned out a few years later.

There are some worse Presidents on the list, particularly George W. Bush.

they must not under any circumstances list any 20th or early 21 century presidents (from Theodore Roosevelt to George W. Bush) until those presidents from the preceding centuries had already been dealt with.

Wouldn't that effectively be equivalent to just eliminating all the 19th century presidents, and leaving only the 20th century presidents to be voted on?

Hey, at least Carter won't be eliminated by partisans in the first round.

The national debt did not increase as fast as it did under Democrat hero FDR.  The Iran-Contra Affair saved central America from communism.  His economic policies ended stagflation and tripled the value of the stock market.  Unemployment and inflation were both lower at the end of his term than at the start.

Next time you think about saying something, play it safe and stay quiet.

Meaningless, FDR had to end the Great Depression and win WWII. Since World War II, the national debt / GDP has gone down under every Democratic President (Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton). It's gone up under the last 4 Republicans (the Bushes, Ford, and Reagan), in particular Dubya and Reagan.

This is all while every Democratic President for the last 80 years had a higher average annual percentage increase in the number of jobs than every Republican President.

The worst President (George W. Bush) was elimianetd AFTER the best President (FDR). Dubya is gone, get over it.

New topic:  Coolidge deserves to go.  His tax cuts are overrated (They only cut taxes from wartime to postwar levels anyway) and he let speculation and the like continue and this allowed the stock market crash.  He skipped town instead of run for another term largely because he probably knew wherethings were going.

Maybe next turn. At least he didn't shut down all the newspapers that criticized him.
