Yes, it's too bad that Ronald Reagan started his politcal career by running for governor, instead of learning the ropes by running for a lesser office. Reagan had the potential for a really exceptional career in politics.

Reagan did start his career with a lesser office -- President of the Screen Actors' Guild. He rose to statewide and national attention by campaigning for Barry Goldwater.
