Do you think the Bush campaign would have the cajones to run an ad like this this year:

Despite the sound and fury of some, this thread was started not to flame but to show some cool campaign ads from the greatest president of the 20th Century.

The one ad from 1980 is especially instructive: it outlines Reagan's Peace Through Strength policy, as well as his willingness to sit down and negotiate with the Soviet leader for as long as it takes. Liberal revisionism has Reagan suddenly making a "shift" in the late 1980s. Not, it was all a part of his grand strategy.
