I jumped on the JC bandwagon when he (our GA Governor) announced for pres, and sent a contribution. In a few months, he jumped in bed with the labor unions, and my support ended. Once a contributor, always a mailbox full of more solicitations, but I did receive a nice black and white picture of him and Ros at the Dem convention.
He was a very mediocre president (think Iran hostages, 21 percent inflation), but became a hard worker for Habitat and good works after leaving DC.
During the 2004 Kerry campaign, he popped up and made several loud and sorry comments - I got the idea he thought he had to do something, or he would be completely forgotten (he didn't get to speak in prime time at the Dem convention). The comments were just totally out of character and out of the image he had been building.
I think Reagan is getting an aircraft carrier, so a weenie sub is appropriate for Carter. I don't think the sub naming has been mentioned in the Atlanta media.
