Andrew,
On the political effects of Reagans death (i would call it a rebirth of interest in the man and his policies), i now believe that Bush may gain significantly, perhaps not seen in the polls, but among key swing voters. They may remember again the similiarities between the Bush personna, post 9/11 until the iraq war became more complex, and Reagans. Also the great love between ronnie and nancy can be seen again looking at george and laura. Kerry, otoh, is married to the euro ketchup queen. She has a distinctly non-american (in the Main St. sense of the word) personna . And Kerry seems tortured much in the same way as Jimmy Carter was.
So when bush makes his speech on friday, he should talk to the great love the reagans had for each other. He should say things like his honored to be in the presence of a great man and all i can do is try to measure up to him as best i can. Be a little humble. Talk about successes and failures and disappointments. Then talk about iraq less as a comparison to the fall of the USSR but more to do with the building of new independent state like russia, poland, etc after the soviet totalitarians went away. Mike
