Is everybody as sick of this Reagan Ressurection as I am?
I lived in Alexandria, Va shortly after St Elizabeth's and other mental hospitals turned thousands of poor little helpless people out to sleep in the streets. This was done at the behest of Ronald Reagan, the same one who scoffed at Jimmy Carter for his use of the phrase "born again".
I get furious every time I think about that jerk!

There was a HUGE Party ID for Dems over Republicans in this poll. I think it was 36D-35I-22R. I think 36D is accurate given Rasmusseen and Pew polls on national Party ID. But are only 22% of Americans self-identified Republicans now? The Pew and Rasmussen polls showed a steady drop in Republican ID and massive defection to Independent status. But by this much? The Pew and Rasmussen polls generally put it at 36D-31R-30I. Has the Republican Party imploded that much more as of late? Or is the sample skewed? It's hard to say, and I bet it's a combination of both. I don't think GOP party ID is as low as 22 percent. But I do think it has dropped and continues drop. Note, by the way, that Indies pick Giuliani over Obama or Clinton. If so many of the Indies are ex-Republicans driven out of the party by Bush, it makes sense that many of them would back Giuliani. The problem for Rudy though is that when you add these new Indies to existing Republicans you still get less support for Giuliani overall than any of the Dems. In other words, the Republican Party is in big trouble right now.

Reagan resurrection ? Sign me up for that event. I think y'all are misreading a bit of Bush's low #s as being solely because tons of folks want to run out next week and sign up as a MoveOn torchbearer.

Keep in mind that lots of GOPs want someone a lot more conservative. Ya know.... leave the children behind, bomb the Soviet Union over lunch, pistol-whip the homeless (we like pistols) .. those sorts of thing.

Yeah, we know. Thanks for being up front about it.

. . . tons of folks . . .

The penchant of folks to use tons of this and tons of that as descriptors in their everyday language is a bit deceptive here. It doesn't take many people, especially those with today's BMI's, to constitute a ton.

It takes a megaton or two of voters to elect a president.

I don't know which is goofier. The Regan nostalgia, or Rudy's nostalgia for 9/11.

At least Reagan's team was smart enough to illegally bribe the Iranian terrorists with weapons while supporting Saddam with weapons to keep them at bay. Yes, those were the days, when high crimes and misdemeanors by Republicans actually made some sort of perverted sense. You have to give Reagan credit for that compared to the current regime.

In violation of federal law, to boot.

Look! Pelosi! Syria!
