>>I don't like Jesse Helms too much.

Well, like him or not, Helms is the most significant Senator of the last quarter of the 20th Century.

And it was Helms that helped propel Reagan to victory in the 1976 GOP primaries (RR lost the nomination due to establishment-controlled delegations). Winning the NC primary changed history. W/o that Reagan would not have won the 1980 nomination and the GOP would not be the majority party today. It would have continued in the "me-too" fashion that had relegated it to permanent minority status.
