good column but? . . .
"Democrat presidential candidate General Dwight Eisenhower" from the aricle.
Is it just my imagination or do I correctly remember Ike as a Republican?

The fact is, Mr Reagan often spoke such plain common sense that his many better-educated critics were both dumbfounded and infuriated.

"Ain't" it the truth!

Common sense and strait forward "black and white" rhetoric works every time!

("I will not make age an issue in this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience"),...

I'll never forget Mondale's expression after that statement of life experience promotion!

The loss to America and our convictions, through Ronald's passing will be felt much more than the loss experienced through the election of "The come back Kid"!

He was indeed the The Great Communicator, a greater man than any of his pygmy critics could ever imagine, and his legacy lies wherever people still champion freedom and liberty.

I'm not positive about this, but I think REAGAN was a Baseball announcer, not Football.
