Matthew Yglesias says Ronald Reagan. Mark Schmitt says George W Bush. Josh Marshall says Geore W Bush. I’m going to go with the elder statesmen here and say George W Bush. Forget Democrats. I think that after Reagan’s eight years in office, most Republicans and indepents would have said that America was better off. Something tells me in 2009 they’ll be saying something different.
