Ha! Votemaster at electoral-vote.com shows his true colors
"President Eisenhower's son, John, a lifelong Republican, has switched his party registration to independent and is going to vote for John Kerry. This makes the second child of a Republican president who is jumping ship (Ron Reagan spoke at the DNC). Eisenhower does not feel he is leaving the party; he feels the party has abandoned the principles his father stood for, including balanced budgets at home and working with our allies abroad. So far Chelsea Clinton, Amy Carter, and Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg have not announced for Bush. But they still have a month if they want to."

My, it's dry in here!

2. Actually, Ron Reagan was never a Repub.
He always publicly disagreed with his father's party about things like civil rights and social justice, and I don't remember him being especially quiet about it -- how can you call it 'jumping ship' in his case? He was always a liberal, I think that's why he and his dad had such a contentious relationship in the first place.
