Summary: "'Going from total anonymity to being president of the United States in less than twelve months is unprecedented,' recalled Carter's pollster Pat Caddell. 'If it weren't for the country looking for something in 1976, Carter could never have gotten elected. He would never have been allowed out of the box. No one would have paid attention to him.' Caddell was not being flattering, but it is true that Jimmy Carter's ascent owed much to timing. Disenchantment with the Washington establishment was rife. Mishandling of the Vietnam War, rising unemployment, poverty, inflation, and Watergate all fostered distrust in the political elite" Provided by publisher
