Reply #12: The difference is Reagan was much, much smarter than Newt

[jeff47]

Reagan was vaguely intelligent about appealing to people, had enough charisma for people to like him, and hearkened back to the 'good old days'.

Newt's an idiot, and has the charisma of a coffee table. I really don't think we'd need to worry much about a candidate calling for a return to the child labor of the old days.
