Who thinks Ron Reagan Jr. should get into politics?

[Zuni]

His father started by hosting a political talk show, why can't Ron Jr.

He has got the name, he is likable. I think he could get elected.

1. i could see it...but i like him in the media too...

it would be hard to lose one of the real voices in a sea of partisan hacks...

2. He's too intelligent and outspoken to be a politician -

Besides, he doesn't have his father's looks or voice.

3. I would vote for him!

[calico1]

4. He has been asked that question before.

And he has said he has no interest in running for office. His Dad was successful because he really wanted to do it. Ron is not. You can't be good if you aren't personally interested in the job. Look at Bush*! LOL. I personally prefer Ron as a journalist.

5. I wouldn't wish that fate on anyone.

[Thrill]

6. He could be President someday

if he got into it

7. While I think that he would be great

in politics.. I like him in the media. We need someone like him. I hope he gets his own show.. not the late night one.. but something in prime time.

Perhaps he could start his own cable network, he and Jon Stewart?

8. Ron Jr. has said that he could never be elected because

if asked, he would say he is an unapologetic atheist, and he said that he thinks sadly that an atheist could never be elected for public office in this country.

10. Too weird looking to succeed.

I love Ron Reagan...but in this era of image I don't know if he'd succeed.

[Ksec]

11. Nah. His calling isnt politics. Thats a nasty career.

Hes better off in media.

12. moot point ... he claims no interest in running for office

Although he would be great.
