Another irony in this irony-filled political season is that Obama's very inclusiveness--which makes him the strongest candidate in the general election-- makes it less likely he will get the Democratic nomination. His recent reference to Reagan in neutral terms, for instance, will hurt him now--and he'd best address that soon. I believe Reagan was a huge step backward for the US--but my view on it is nothing compared to the rabid feeling of many Democratic primary voters---whose votes Obama will need to get the nomination.
