How tall is he? I shook Bush Sr's hand once and he was ONE TALL man. My recollection and the picture show him to be about six feet tall. The picture, taken by his official photographer, show he and I standing side by side, in profile, as I am introducing several officials of other organizations to him. He is standing just beyond me in the photo and appears to be the same or slightly taller than I, I am 5' 11".

No, I'm in GA and that hick Jimmy Carter won in '76. Reagan ran against him but lost. Right, Freepers ? Reagan challenged Gerald Ford for the Republican nomination for President in 1976. Ford, being the incumbent, had the advantage and beat Reagan for the nomination. Carter then beat Ford in the general election, which some attributed to the GOP's Watergate baggage.
Reagan ran against Carter in 1980 for President and won. Reagan won the nomination that year against a field of challengers, including George H.W. Bush, who agreed to be Reagan's VP when Reagan got the nomination. The presidential race in 1980 also featured former Republican Congressman John Anderson as a third-party candidate (I forget what he called his party that year). Some say Anderson's candidacy cost Carter some votes and thereby magnified the margin of Reagan's win, but I don't buy it. I think Anderson drew equally from both parties. Besides, Reagan displayed a broad coattail effect in that election that showed his inherent appeal to the electorate, Anderson's candidacy notwithstanding.

The best part of all this is watching liberals continue to come unglued right in front of us. A few years ago, before Fox, before Drudge, before FR they might have gotten away with this kind of thing. This will be yet another thing that backfires and pushes people to the Right side.

Carter beat Ford in '76. Carter won because Ford was coming out of the Watergate scandal, and it was still fresh in everyone's mind even though he had nothing to do with it.

Maybe the speech I'm remembering is the lost nomination. I just remember lying in bed watching TV and, for the first time in my life, paying attention to politics ( I was 17 ). Reagan was at a podium and was speaking in such a way that I was mesmerized. I remember feeling regret that this man was not in the running for President because I felt he'd make a great one. Little did I know that his time was coming.

This is just wrong, and CBS needs to know how we feel about it.

"CBS will disappear under it's current intendended structure and the ill Mr.Reagan will have uttered not a single word,nary a word,yet,..........................................yet, every word Reagan did utter will echo from coast to coast." I will use that as a prayer. May the merciful God whom he served make it so.

From one of my earlier posts:
Just placed a call to our local CBS affilliate and spoke with te General Manager of the station.
I let her know that I would no longer be watching their channel due to the Reagan miniseries coming up and would also be contacting local advertisers.
She did mention to me she had a few calls concerning this and was wondering how I could pass judgement on something not yet seen, that maybe it would not be that bad.
I explained to her about the sript leaks on the Internet and the interview of Michael Reagan on Sean Hannity show among others. That this is an obvious attempt to smear a great man, a man that cannot defend himself.
She was a bit taken back by my forcefullness and my grasp of facts that she did not have. She was particularly concerned with my threat of telling local advertisers. Sorry, but that will be done by tomorrow night. All local businesses advertising on CBS that I see I will call tonight and tomorrow.
She was pleasant but a bit ruffled. Excellent!!

THANKS for what you've done.
Here's the number for CBS in NY (212) 975-4321 for making comments to an operator about the Reagan mini-series. I've called three times and let them know I'll be watching the series and taking down the names of their advertisers to tell them I'll never buy any of their products.
All the best.
