  • The last reasonable person to win the GOP nomintation. Since Ronnie and the Evangelicals took over the GOP in '80s and '90's, no sensable republicans have ever been elected to higher office.

  • If only President Ford had been elected over then Governor Carter on November 2, 1976 this country would have been spared the 4 miserable years of the Carter-Mondale administration.

  • Along with his speech after being sworn in as President, these were President Ford's two best speeches.

  • @gbcvn Agreed 100%. We need REAL Republicans back in office--pragmatic, problem solvers, ... not the religious yahoos of today.

  • @hpmc9 That's not Diane Sawyer, it's Ford's daughter Susan. To the right is his son Steve and to the left is his son Jack.

  • Damn check out the chick at 2:53.

  • President Ford was my favorite president because of his character.  He was honest and was a humble man. He led our nation through very tough times and putting his popularity on the line by pardoning Nixon. It was a VERY courageous deed and showed grace and wisdom few leaders have today. We need another Gerald Ford.

  • @joeytrimble Hey at least Dole was funny !

  • this was one of the cleaner elections we've had .. not as much mud slinging as others

  • @7980COOL1 bob dole didn't help either
