I believe voter turnout wouldn't have BEEN this high if not for the memory of President Reagan. I don't mean because he passed away. The same thing would have happened if he were still alive. It's the memory of what life was like during his presidency that helped energize voters to bring in the man best suited to fight the war on terrorism, just as we once voted in the only man capable of ending the Cold War before it.
In a real way, we're still riding the wave of the Reagan legacy.
Definitely.
