Right but that's not the main difference. The main difference is that Reagan's remarriage occurred in 1952. He was elected President in 1980. So the event occurred some 28 years previous. So it was hardly a event in voter's minds.

Guiliani's is a recent messy divorce just a few years ago. And Guiliani has been married 3 times. So he has much more baggage to overcome than Reagan in this area ... plus he is not a Ronald Reagan.

No he's not a Ronald Reagan...He's a Rudy Guiliani, knighted by Queen Elizabeth and loved all over the world. He also has his merits, as does President Bush. Let's not be like the Democrats with an image that is forever held over potential leaders...In their case, their 3-year President JFK. Ronald Reagan was unique...as they all are.

What's all this crap about - you are comparing him to RR - not me! He is HIS OWN person and RR was his own. Why do you feel the need to parallel a leaders life with someone elses.

Why the need to 'box someone in' to see if they fit the description/lifestyle of someone else that you approve of more.

. plus he is not a Ronald Reagan.

No $*it, Dick Tracey! I'm sure he is happy about that and very comfortable in his own skin.
