His own party is starting to recognize he's a problem, though, because all of the campaigns I've heard for the upcoming elections are touting "Reagan" republicans. Apparently they've decided Reagan was their last good poster boy. There were problems with him too, but I think it was long enough ago that people don't remember them as well. Plus he's recently died, so they're banking on that to help them. I shook my head when I first started hearing it. I personally am independent because I think both parties suck.
