I'm a big fan of Ronald Reagan
Ron Reagan Jr. that is.

He inherited his father's political instincts, and genial veneer over tough mindedness. Fortunately his political orientation is 180 degrees from his Dad.

He was just on Hardball, giving a great analysis of what just happened ans is likely to happen.

I wish he'd run for Congress.

2. Oh, I thought you were talking about the father...
You know, Obama likes to compare himself to Reagan.

So, if you are a big fan of Obama, is it possible that you could be a really big fan of Reagan?

3. Did you hear him say that in the Super Congress the revenue can
be filibustered but the cuts cannot? He said there were two sets of rules. This is the first I've heard of it - I'm not doubting him, just wondering where that came from.

4. As am I. Agree with your take, plus I appreciate his level "headedness".

He almost always makes rational arguments, not emotionally laden rants.

6. The teabaggers would be swayed by the name alone
low info Right Wingers would easily sweep Ron Reagan into office!
