I suggest that the country was so disgusted with the seemingly corrupt, but
competent, Nixon that they picked a righteous, though incompetent,
replacement.

Can't argue that. As a man, I have always thought highly of Carter.
He really cared and I think he tried his best but that is not enough
to be a good president. Ultimately, his incompetence led to his
downfall. He was the poster boy for the Peter Principle.
