Ron Reagan to Speak at Dem Convention

As something of a fan (bad word, but I really respect the youngest Reagan because he's charted his own course when going along with his parents' crowd would have given him the world) of Ron Reagan, I'm pleased to hear this.

But I don't hold out any beliefs that this will attract swing voters (those attracted by Reagan's name are still not likely to vote Kerry-Edwards).

What it will provide is an articulate man who came to his own conclusions, has lived life his way, and who respects his mother and his late father even if he doesn't buy into their politics. The Dems could do far worse.
