“You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.”
-- President Ronald Reagan from "The Speech" - October 27, 1964

“What’s his plan, son? A russian sailor doesn’t take a dump without a plan.” I’m imagining neither does a former Senator and watergate attorney.
I must admit to being annoyed at media articles that compare Sen. Thompson to Pres. Reagan as actors.
President Reagan was a career journalist and actor who through his work in the union became politically active and rose to hold our highest office.
Sen. Thompson was a career attorney who was asked to play himself in a movie about Watergate and then explored an acting career. He had serious legal and legislative experience before running for political office.
While his acting has improved his visibility, on the basic merits he was more qualified to seek elective office than Reagan was.
That being said, it is clear that experience is not everything. President Reagan proved to be one of our best leaders. Al Gore had served as Vice President, Senator and Representative while George W Bush had simply served as Governor of Texas. I am glad the latter won.
Perhaps that is why I am most intrigued by the candidacy of Gov. Romney. He has diverse experience in business, running an international organization during the Olympics, and as Governor of a liberal state (much like Reagan had experience governing California).
