Yeah, real proud of a naming the highest peak in North America to promote a political candidate, not in honor of a president.

But the name stuck, and McKinley turned out to be one of our better presidents, especially compared to most of his successors. As Leo Durocher put it, "win any way you can."

OK, let’s change the mountain’s name back to Denali. But why stop there? Let’s drop Reagan’s name from Reagan National Airport, have the Ronald Reagan Freeway revert to its original name, the Simi Valley Freeway, and forget about renaming Frenchman Mountain in Nevada for Ronald Reagan.
