However, in an absolute sense, even in an extreme stretch, he's not another RG. Capitializing on discontented elephant voters will only get Obama so far, and probably not that far . . . "Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." - Ronald Reagan Sounds reasonable to me, and in the narrow sense Obama means, he is like the Old Gipper.

The radio ad was nothing like Clinton portrayed it and was simply another effort by Obama to receive support beyond usual Democratic voters. The ad did not tell people to become Democrats for a week and then return to being Republicans as Clinton portrayed it. The accuracy of Clinton's claims of voter intimidation has also be questioned.

This whole claim and counter-claim business is just dispiriting. Right now the two campaigns' fact sheets look nothing like each other. I think it's pretty clear Obama's Reagan remarks were wilfully misconstrued, but I'm starting to think the whole Culinary Workers intimidations thing, plus the radio ad asking Republicans to caucus, was overplayed.
