Hi All! Sunshine's back! :)
Alkhin, anyone...why DO you call yourselves Generation Reagan? Or whatever that term is? Seriously. For once, this is not a trick question on my part. I really am curious.
She might not want to go there, as the boomers were at their absolute peak, in terms of percentage of the electorate, right around the time of Reagan's landslide victory.
qam1 has a good explanation :D with his above link :D
I think it's because Reagan was the first president we were old enough to really "see" and understand as the president. We watched him on TV when we were kids, we remember him being shot and he made an impact on us. (I'm not sure, but I would think Boomers may look at Kennedy the same way.)
