The reason the Democrats have come out in spin-mode isn't to divert attention from the Reagan remembrances, or to convince voters, but to convince themselves....The only way a Democrat political professional can get out of bed in the morning and go on with his or her life is to walk in a cloud of self-delusion. The praise and affection that have been heaped on Ronald Reagan this week have been reality slapping them in the face, and they know it. By mid-week, they reverted to lying to themselves, as a way to convince themselves that "all this doesn't matter."
Did you happen to see Gray Davis on Hannity and Colmes last night? The dem talking points are soooo transparent. He was asked what he'd learned from Reagan as governor.
After (surprisingly) sputtering something about how he obviously didn't utilize everything he could've learned from Reagan, he reverted to the usual "Reagan-was-just-a-jolly-guy-who-told-great-jokes" mantra.
The more they spin, the worse they look.

Bump to that!
