Two Reagan landslides and no one at the NYT's or Washington Post editorial departments knew anyone who had voted for him.

Did you catch the CNN trailer saying Reagan only narrowly won 50.7% of the popular vote in 1980, but came back to win a landslide in 1984? Yeah, this is the same CNN who called Clinton's wins landslides, the biggest of which (1996) was 1% less of the narrow win of RR in 1980.

As far as I'm concerned, Congress should also mandate an issuance of a commemorative stamp by July 4 and a new coin by September 1. I like the dime because it is a two-fer-- replacing FDR and a symbolic coin which RR made worth something again.
