Interesting comments from former President Carter. Speaking of his campaigns back in the day the former President says; "It would have been devastating if any one of us had run a negative campaign against the other," Mr. Carter said, "whereas nowadays it's become a common practice and, unfortunately, it works for the American people."
And that's the sad state of public dialogue in America right now - it works.
Mr. Carter continued, "By the time you get to Washington, even if you are elected, your reputation has been severely damaged by the constant stream of negative TV commercials."
Just in case you've always wanted to get a Polaroid with a former prez, Carter will be signing copies of his new book on Oct. 28 at The King's English Bookshop near 1500 South and 1500 East in SLC.
