Republican Debate

Did you watch the Republican debate last evening (1/30)?  The candidates mentioned Ronald Reagan at least 40 times in their statements.  Reagan too office almost 30 years ago.  Don't they have any new ideas at all?  George W. Bush was hardly mentioned at all.  Is George W. irrelevant?  It is difficult for me to believe, but I think the leading Republican candidated want to go back to the Reagan days. 

If MeCain gets the Republican nomination, as seems likely now and Obama gets the Democratic nomination, as seems likely today, the contest of will be old and backward looking McCain against young and forward looking Obama.  It will be a replay of Dole versus Clinton.
