Heck, Neo-- even I did better than the candidates on the SAT verbals. And I'd make a terrible president. I was just reading columns and Ben Stein made the point that the number of uninsured children in Texas is greatly inflated because of the huge illegal alien population. That sounds logical, but I don't know if it's true or how one would adjust it.

Neocon, Nice points on the intelligence factor. In my opinion, why I admire Ron Reagan was that he was a man of uncompromising principle formed over decades of consideration. His Goldwater speech in '64 could have been delivered in 1980, 1984 or 1988. His union activism in the 1940's and 1950's gave him a moral base to work from, and he developed his principles based on the rights and obligations of the individual versus the collective spirit. I know that I will probably draw the flak of the "lefties" on this, but I believe that Reagan was one of the greatest presidents of the 20th century simply because he never departed from his priciples, and attempted to do something that was unthinkable at the time: roll back the size of government.
