Both candidates are only a few degrees off center when hype and spin are stripped away. Second you seem to think the swing voters in the center want an ideologue of either variety -- they don't. That's why they're in the center and that's why they swing. The strengths of both Obama and Reagan have very little to do with ideology and everything to with leadership skills.

As your dad stated, Reagan motivated people to believe in their ability create an America to make us all proud. Obama's thing is to make people believe that the government will solve all of their problems, that the government will make this country better. Reagan promoted individualism. Obama is a collectivist. The two are direct opposites. Jon, the two (Reagan, Obama) could not be more different.
