Ghosts of Carter in 2008

I unsure sure of this election.  On the one hand I do not want an other 4 years of republican leadership (or lack there of), and on the other I'm afraid that anyone placed in the white house now will have a Jimmy Carter like administration. 

What I mean is,  that like Carter anyone in the White House will have such a piss poor situation to manage, that anything that is done will anger someone and make it next to impossible to get anything done.  Carter was saddled with a tanking economy from Ford and the end of Vietnam, constraining everything that he did at the time.
