Yes, people forget that the national audience requires something more than what the local effort requires. Reagan was a Democrat before he was a Republican. What I like about Rudy is his grasp of the nuances of things. He really impressed me with this interview.

Sadly, even though this is a political forum, not everyone knows nor understands what politics is all about, nor do they know all that much factual history. And when one posts the FACTS about Reagan, one had better be wearing a kevlar suit from head to toe.

That was a GREAT first interview. Rudy smiled, he wasn't wooden, he appeared to be relaxed, and he didn't sound strident nor off putting.
