, 22:16, January 6, 2013→Jimmy Carter: new section
SeanS: no-one responded to what I said about Churchill's career before politics (see under Thatcher, above). I'll leave it a bit (it's bedtime here) and have a look at what others say tomorrow. [[User:KhalidM|KhalidM]] 18:56, 16 August 2011 (EDT)

:No-one has responded to my comment above for 24 hours so I've moved Churchill (again) to the list of people whose careers before politics need further consideration. If Thatcher's career before politics wasn't substantial enough to merit being in the top list, Churchill's certainly wasn't. [[User:KhalidM|KhalidM]] 18:50, 17 August 2011 (EDT)

== Jimmy Carter ==
I'd be inclined to put President Carter into the "significant career" box. Older folks tell me he was a flop as a President but he's been a big achiever in his post-Presidential career, especially promoting democracy in countries which were previously dictatorships - something which conservatives can surely applaud, even if we don't approve of a lot of things he did as President. What do other CPers think? [[User:StaceyT|StaceyT]] 17:16, 6 January 2013 (EST)
