If I were Jimmy Carter, I wouldn't want to redo my miserable 1980 Landslide Defeat, either.
Pretty darn embarrassing & humiliating....

I interviewed President Carter on The Young Turks this morning. We talked about his new book Beyond the White House: Waging Peace, Fighting Disease, Building Hope, his work at the Carter Center and the new group of legendary statesmen he is a part of called "The Elders." How cool is that name, by the way? Who doesn't want to one day be part of The Elders?
We also talked about the current Bush administration. President Carter said this administration has done things that are far more radical than anything that happened in the Ronald Reagan or George H. W. Bush administrations. He said it wasn't even comparable. You can watch the interview here.
Then I asked him if he could redo the 1980 election where he lost to Reagan or the 2000 election where Al Gore lost to George Bush. He said he would redo the 2000 election because it had such adverse consequences for the country. As always, the man is selfless and classy.
Cenk Uygur: If you had to redo the 1980 election, where Ronald Reagan won, of course up against you, or redo the 2000 election where George Bush defeated Al Gore, which one would you redo?
President Carter: Well knowing what I know now, and knowing the wonderful experiences I've had at the Carter Center in the last 25 years, I would say I would redo the 2000 election. That, you know, I think has had a profoundly adverse effect on our country, and I've had a personal gratifying experience with my wife and many other people at the Carter Center. That in time, that has healed the disappointment that we felt in not getting elected in 1980.

This is from AirHead America? OK. No need to read further.
The rest of America would rather redo the 1976 election that gave us this hypocritical poltroon in the first place.

Shame on Jimmy Carter.
What an incredibly selfless and classy racist anti-semite. Feel the love.
Now here's a brain trust. This is the best airamerica could find to interview an ex-president?
Carter gave that answer because he thought it would make him look selfless. What a fraud. I still remember the time he was a guest on one of the late night talk shows. I believe it was Carson. Not half way through the interview he interrupted the host to mention that he volunteered for Habitat for Humanity.
This guy is full of himself. He didn't hawk the program, he just wanted everyone to know that he volunteered. "Hey, look at me. I'm a great ex-President huh?"
The idea of Carter's little tea party of Elders makes me ill. Here's a guy who singlehandedly destabilized the middle-east via withdrawing support for the Shah, and yet he wants to be known as a Mr. Fix-it now. No, he's a Mr. Jinx-it and always will be.
This man's perception of foreign diplomacy begins with surrender and ends with some other power ruling the world.
This guy can't buy the farm soon enough. He's simply deranged.
The BBC CNN Airhead America. I’m so tired of this miserable poisonous demented SOB I just wish he would drop dead.
1980
Air America refers to him as "President Carter". I didn't know that Jimmy was still President.
Last time I looked... he was Ex-President Jimmy Carter. Or am I missing something?
Damn straight partner!
I agree with your scheme. The problem is, the dorks that dreamed up the current color code convention got it backwards: Red = Republicans, Blue = Democrats.
Red states were the commie ones, couldn't have that.
