The ghost of Reagan

Not since 1928 has a U.S. presidential election been without a former president or vice president participating in the race. This explains why the 2008 U.S. election is the most open, exciting and unpredictable within living memory.

While the Democratic candidates have been narrowed down to two favourites, the Republican side is blown wide open. The other night all Republican candidates were desperately trying to associate their own campaign to a popular president of the past: Ronald Reagan.

I wonder if they would have dared to present these claims if Reagan was still alive.

Interesting development: Bloomberg assumes a joker position.
