all of my inlaws

Heh. MY in-laws are not.

Haven't spoken to my retired Marine father in law since the commutation was announced, but I can only assume he is more apoplectic than usual. He's, ummmm, not exactly a fan of the present administration.

I was thinking about both of those Presidents after I wrote what I wrote, and I agree with you, both were quite effective.

A quick story about Reagan. The moment I got hooked on politics was the summer of 1976. I remember sitting at home watching the Republican convention, I seem to remember that it was late July of '76, so I would've been nearly 14 at the time. After watching most of the convention, it was getting towards the end of the convention and there was little doubt that Ford was going to get the nomination. While there was little doubt, it wasn't yet official; and then Ronald Reagan spoke to the convention. I honestly can't remember the content of Reagan's speech, all I remember is that speech was the finest speech I'd ever witnessed. To this day, it remains the finest speech I've ever seen. By the end of Reagan speech, I remember thinking how obvious it was that the Republicans were going to nominate the wrong guy. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how all these supposedly smart people couldn't see what I could see; that Reagan was a winner and that Ford was not going to win anything. If you ever want to see a great political speaker, watch those old tapes of Reagan from the '76 Republican convention.

I was somewhat older, but is still the first political speech that i actually remember - Cuomo's speech at the 1984 Democratic national convention.

what i think is the greatest political speech in my lifetime.

Man - this country really deserved to have a man like mario lead it.

I guess that's really the tricky part of American politics, you' got to get elected. And Cuomo's case, you've got to get nominated before you can get elected. Actually, I don't remember that he ever announced his candidacy. I could be wrong there.

Thank goodness, no, but it was a terrific speech.

no - he never ran. i think he could have won in 1988 or 1992. obviously he didn;t want the job.

You can scratch Toby Keith off that list.

He's made it known that he's no fan of this administration.
