- popularize presidential selection
- strode George Wallace, Jesse Jackson, Pat Robertson, Pat Buchanan, Howard Dean and others.
- Ceaser notes that the candidate whose path to the presidency most resembled Obama’s was Jimmy Carter.
He, too, used an intensely personal and inspirational appeal to compensate for a thin résumé. Having courted the public with flattering rhetoric—promising “a government as good as the American people”-...He had been selected by a process that rewarded running as a solitary savior, offering his personal qualities—his supposed moral excellence—as the key to national improvement.
- ...the selection process...
- begins again, soon." (George Will)
