I would challenge the "not hotly contested" - Carter started off with a lead, but it did get closer towards the end of the race. He only won by about 3 percentage points and it was also fairly close electorally.\n\nAs to the issues themselves, Watergate kind of overshadowed every election in both 1974 and 1976. Carter presented himself as an outsider, someone untainted by Washington politics who would clean up the system.\nFord basically played the experience card, arguing that Carter lacked the experience to lead the country.\nThe other major issues were economics, especially inflation and Ford's inability to control it (look up WIN buttons).\nAnd Ford did make a major faux pas about the Soviet domination of Eastern Europe during one of the debares.

There as many reasons as there are incumbents who lose. Your reason is 1 of them. Sometimes, voters feel like he has done a poor job, ex Ford & Carter. Sometimes people like the other candidate, other times people want t change of direction.

Socially: Everyone ignored the ban on alcohol and partied a lot.  Economically: The stock market crashed and the economy plunged into a depression.  Politically: People blamed Hoover for the lack of jobs and money and elected FDR.

WHAT!!?! Reagan built the military up! because Carter was the one that downsized them, thats why many older military who remember reagan absolutely LOVED him, the US military was the smallest and weakest it ever was when Clinton was in office! he closed so many bases, your co worker needs to check his facts, republicans believe in a strong defense when it comes to the military, many democrats like to cut military spending and use the money on social programs,

An assasination attempt, social security nearly collapsed and he gave the agency huge bailout funding, his tax cutting policies caused a huge financial deficit and he had to find ways to cut federal spending. There were so many problems concerning American veterans that he had to form a new federal agency for veterans affairs, and the Iranian hostage crisis was happening as he was inaugurated. The Iranians refused to deal with Jimmy Carter. This single event caused a huge military buildup for the United States to begin. Also the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger was a big setback for NASA and Reagan's "Starwars" plan for nuclear defense

What did the country look like before he became President?  High unemployment, high interest rates, high unemployment and failed foreign policy.  Reagan was a man of action and took those issues head on, to positive result.

The biggest issue of the sixties was putting a man on the moon.  Then Kennedy was shot and that was all but overshadowed by the same bunch who brought us Iraq taking us into Vietnam.  Then there was Martin Luther King and the civil rights  movement.  The time was about freedom, the rights of men and women, and what this country should be about.  Some of these issues made it through, while the movement itself was systematically crushed,  partly by the shooting deaths of both Kennedy brothers, Martin Luther King, the students at Kent State, the police riot in Chicago against the war demonstrators.  "We  will have no more of this" was the message that came through loud and clear.

Jimmy Carter.  He froze oil prices and caused gasoline shortages. He tried to rescue americans held hostage in Iran with a military excursion that was so badly planned, it killed soldiers in a desert.  The country saw double-digit inflation rates during his watch.  It was horrible.

Bush senior was the head of the CIA during the Carter administration.\n\nDuring this time the CIA was illegally selling arms to the contra rebels in Nicaragua and giving the money to Iran to keep the hostages that they took from the US embassy.\n\nAt the same time the Republicans were accusing the Democrats of not doing anything to get the hostages released thus swaying our own presidential election allowing Regan to get into office.

In February of 1973 the Senate established the Special Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities to investigate.  In late July the House Judiciary Committee adopted three articles of impeachment, accusing President Nixon of obstruction of justice for impeding the Watergate investigation, of abuse of power for his partisan use of the FBI and IRS, and of contempt of Congress for refusing to obey a congressional subpoena to release the tapes.\n\nCheckmated, Nixon conceded in a televised address on August 5 that he had withheld relevant evidence.\n\nOn August 9, 1974, Richard Nixon became the first president to resign, and Gerald Ford took office as the nation's first chief executive to have been elected neither president nor vice president.
