Thats right. President Reagan isnt running for President again in 08. He was a great President and he urged us to move forward with conservative ideals that make America great. Im not going to get drawn into an argument about "would Reagn be elected today". He isnt running today, just like you said... Im voting for Thompson or Hunter in the Primaries.
“Im not going to get drawn into an argument about “would Reagn be elected today”.”
I was quite young when he was elected, and thus even my memories are of little value on the topic. I certainly do remember Carter interrupting Dukes of Hazzard to yak about another important problem from time to time, must have been friday night or something.
I do wonder how those with adult memories of the 1980 and 1984 election think Reagan in 1980 and Mondale in 1984 would be viewed today by their respective parties.
