GOP debate mantra: When in doubt, invoke the memory of Ronald Reagan

Ten Republican presidential candidates wanting to replace President Bush embraced a more popular president, conservative icon Ronald Reagan, at every turn in their first debate of the 2008 race. "Ronald Reagan was a president of strength," Mitt Romney intoned. "Ronald Reagan used to say, we spend money like a drunken sailor," said John McCain. And Rudy Giuliani praised "that Ronald Reagan optimism." The world, however, is far different today than it was some 25 years ago when the nation's 40th president relaxed at his retreat in the rolling hills of southern California.
