lets not make the mistake Republicans did in 1968 - choosing Nixon instead of Reagan. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be another Reagan on the horizon.

Truth is Reagan wasn't even Reagan in 1968. His loss to Ford in 1976 was a blessing in that it made him re-examine his own thinking. By his own admission, he didn't become the Reagan that we all know and love until after that loss. It was then that his conservative impulses really began to fully gel.

No... and the truth is we were more ready for Reagan because of the way Vietnam turned out, Watergate and Jimmy Carter. He couldn't have gotten the same mandate in '68.
