From the mouths of babes...

I mentioned confusion at the thought of conservatives withholding support of McCain should he get the nomination recently, and at the resurgence of interest in "What would Reagan do?" in the conservative media outlets.

Well, tonight I got some resolution on those points from Reagan's own son.

Michael Reagan had his Friday show re-aired tonight on my way in, and he said on that show that his father would vote for the PARTY'S nominee... even if it wasn't his first choice. There are few people I'd trust more to know the thoughts and habits of a man than his children, and Mike Reagan seemed awfully sure that his father would have picked McCain as his first choice over Romney, simply because the Romney Ron Reagan knew fought him tooth and nail on every issue... McCain didn't.

Mike also thought that all these people spouting off about "What would Reagan do?" should shut up, as probably not one of them had ever even spoken to the man, let alone knew him well enough to have an insight into his wants, needs and aspirations.

A good show... and that is saying something coming from me.
