If there had been another Reagan who could've put a nice, affable, telegenic smile on their crazyness, I'm not sure where we'd be right now. That candidate might still lose against Obama, but I think GOP voters would be more energized and it would be close.

I'm just glad Rmoney was the "best" one to stumble out of the clown car of GOP possibilities.
