Very wishful thinking that the November election will be in any way about RR. It will be about Bush and Kerry.

Also remember that Reagan was always popular DESPITE his policies. Bush has no such power to win over doubters. At this point not that many people trust GW anymore. Any power he had after 9-11 (due to massive sudden sympathy and patriotism) to suspend peoples' disbelief has long been sqauandered.

The rest of this year Bushies will be in damage control mode. How to stop the bleeding. RR is this week's story but coming up you have many other stories, most not favorable to Bush including Farenheit 9-11 which shows him goofing around while the WTC towers were being attacked, the 9-11 commissions finding, Valerie Plame CIA agent outing case (with is a serious criminal case), WMD's findings, more prison torture intrigue, deficit figures, Kerry's VP selection, gas price inflation and of course the bumpy ride which is Iraq. Any temporary lift Bush gets trying to compare himself to RR will be short-lived, but it may give him a small lift in the very short-term.

Kerry however is running a brilliant campaign thus far, like an expert poker player he is. he has not and will not fall into a single GOP trap.
