I’d have thought Wilson would have been an idealist.

Despite the fact that Idealists comprise at least 10 percent of the population, no Idealist had ever occupied the White House -- until Obama.

It depends on your definition. If Idealist means a dreamer or utopian, then Woody Wilson and Jimbo Carter would certainly fit that mold.

I should have read all the comments before placing mine...I totally agree with you about Wilson being an idealist.
