Most historians agree with that Harding was very well qualified for the job. (See {622567} & {622568}),)And he personally did not have any great ambition to be president. He was a very affable man who spent much of his time drinking, playing cards, and having women entertain with his political buddies. His wife however, was a very accomplished and powerful newspaper publisher and she insisted that he run and he won. He continued his entertainment with his cronies and was a very weak president.
