11. most presidents are known for one single incident in their presidency

above all else: JFK: Bay of Pigs; LBJ: Gulf of Tonkin; Nixon: Watergate; Ford: Mayaquez; Carter: the hostages/the Shah of Iran

He can't separate himself from his legacy, so why burden a potential candidate with it? I like Edwards. I just don't think an endorsement from Carter is going to seal the deal
