I would expect Bush to get a "Reagan Bump" for the next week or two but the President is going to take a strong stand on something if he is going to regain and hold a lead over Kerry.

BTW-I really have using the term "Reagan Bump" but over the last few days there have been so many pundits making parallels between Reagan and Dubya.

Perhaps it is better than making a parallel between Dubya and his dad or even One Term Carter but it still bugs me that in this time that we are here to honor Reagan that some see this as an opportunity to Advance the Bush Campaign.

Reagan was Better than that.

Bush is Better than that.

America is Better than that.

To a lot of people it looks the President wants to lose. Given the campaign he's been running, I would not be surprised if the American people granted him what they think he wants.
