Jimmy Carter signed Jefferson-Jackson Dinner program in Ames Iowas, October 25th, 1975. Two months later, Carter would come in a distant second behind "uncommitted" in the Iowa Caucus. But because he got more votes than any of the other candidates on the ballot, Carter was able to parlay his "Win" in Iowa to a win in New Hampshire.... thus going from Jimmy Who? to being the next President of the United States.

General Alexander Haig hand-written note while he was Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, dated May 22cd, 1978. Three years later, on March 30th, 1981, Haig, as Secretary of State, would utter those now famous words: "I'm in control here" after the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. To most observers, this was an out and out power grab by Haig. He would later explain that he was just trying to maintain order amid all the chaos. Haig also served as Nixon and Ford's Chief of Staff.
