A war with Iran will change all your ideas about “change”, and probably most of the rest of the country as well.

I personally don't want the "change", but I think the rest of the country might. I honestly don't know how Fred would react to war with Iran, and I don't want to find out. But I do think he would be extremely competent, as would most of our candidates (R Paul excluded). I want leadership and courage, I want safety, and I want someone to give me those things.

My point (no matter how badly I stated it in my first post) was that the country is at a different place than it was 30 years ago when Reagan was running. He was running against an incompetent President, who almost ruined our nation. Reagan revitalized patriotism, not only because of who he was, but because of who he was running against. I just do not see Fred as that much different from President Bush (who I love, and respect), but that may be a detriment. I may not be the most articulate person, but what I am trying to ask is, how can Fred succeed? We can not compare him to Reagan because Reagan was running under totally different circumstances. I also want to find out what States Fred can secure, that President Bush was unable to.
