That was Ronald Reagan who lost to Gerald Ford not the has beens that lost to John McCain. None of those candidates in 2008 could carry Reagan’s briefcase. Apples and oranges.
Right, I wasn’t trying to compare last year’s crop of candidates to Reagan. I made sure that I put that in my post. My main point was let’s not make it a rule of thumb to never reconsider previous losing candidates. You never know what might happen way down the road(which in this case I’m not talking about 2012).
