I believe in Reagan as well... but I read something intersting yesterday and that is "many, many voters today don't even know who Reagan was or what he stood for and when we older voters keep mentioning him their eyes glaze over. We need a new Reagan and 2010/2012 Reagan-like person who will excite this new generation the way he excited our generation."

True. To me, Reagan isn't too long ago. I also get the same reaction as you when I mention President Carter, but there is a generation of adults out there that were not even born when Carter, or even Reagan, was in office. To remember Carter, you have to be at least 35 years old. I'll be 43 this year in July. I could have voted for Reagan in 1984 but registered late.

It's like when I watch "Airwolf" on the Retro Television Network along with them playing Wendy's "Where's the Beef" commercial, I sit there and say, "dang, that was 25 years ago."

Well, I also saw the old 1985 Wendy's ad where they had the Soviet fashion show with the same, dull, grey dress when the fat lady walked out. I joked, "this is the world Obama is going to give us." To the "yung uns" out there today, it is a quaint commercial but to us, that is a parody of real history that we have lived, and feared.

We do need a new Ronald Reagan, Jindal is a strong possibility, perhaps Sarah Palin, I don't know. We need to keep looking and work on 2010, our first mission is damage control so we need to get Congress in our hands again.

It got me to asking: Where is that person, a person who stands for something constructive, is willing to speak out about what he/she stands for and has the charisma to excite voters of all ages to follow along...and is a conservative who believes in God, Country and Constitution...

True. BTW, another problem we have is there are too many people out there in the "gimmee crowd," so it will be a tough sell.
