Welcome Back, Carter: 2004 Democratic Presidential Poll Winner

By Earl Clark Coleman

Earl Clark Coleman enjoys an unusual hobby in his business travels conducting unscientific polls about presidential elections. Coleman surveyed Democratic voters about the race for the party's 2004 nomination, and was surprised by the poll participants who didn't select any of the announced candidates but instead offered former President Jimmy Carter as their first choice, despite the widespread assumption he'd never consider running again for the presidency. An intrigued Coleman next included Carter's name on a second survey, asking Democratic voters to consider Carter as if he were an available candidate. To Coleman's amazement, Carter won the poll, with his supporters citing his reputation as a peacemaker, his Harry Truman-like integrity, and his prodigious humanitarian works. This led Coleman to examine the entire Carter record, and he came away convinced that America's greatest ex-president was also an underrated chief executive in his own right. However, Coleman's most stunning discoveries are authoritative comments indicating the former president, contrary to popular belief, could very well accept a late call to seek the 2004 Democratic nomination, if asked by his party. Carter's stature and wisdom, concludes Coleman, could result in his re-election over George W. Bush in a comeback for the ages.
