I voted for George Washington. The finalists WERE a pretty good selection. We watched one episode and the narrator was being pretty snarky about some of the lame choices chosen by the audience over better examples of great americans. That was pretty amusing.

I voted for Regan as well, although I have great admiration for George Washington. If you fight a man to man war hard enough, with enough will and conviction, you can win. What Regan did was unimaginable, until he, if fact, did it.

I can usually spell Reagan's name, but I have been outside and am hot and sweaty. That's my excuse, and I am sticking to it, at to everything else right now.

if you like "Regan" so much you might learn to spell his name correctly. (smiles)

I have only been able to watch intermittently so I do not know.

Sorry if duplicate, I don't think my first posted.




Yes, all candidates have been well represented by advocates for each.

I would vote Washington, Lincoln, Reagan, Franklin then King.

No America without Washington, no United States without Lincoln and Reagan was the best in my lifetime as he won the Cold War and transformed the US into a more conservative nation. Reagan made it "okay" to be conservative and built the values basis we fight for today.
