If only that were the case. Unfortunately it takes someone as extraordinary as Reagan to overcome the rant of "the world is over" from Moore and his ilk.
If you don't believe me then read this:
I have a liberal friend who always sends me links to Yahoo!-linked articles (AP stories, etc.) - most of which are intensely biased against Bush, and conservatism in general.
So, I think you should pay more attention to the overwhelming tribute being given to Reagan, and less to polls on Yahoo!, when it comes to trying to determine just what message most Americans really believe and support.
