He's No Gipper - Bush pales in comparison to Ronald Reagan (though both seem to have pissed off the Europeans to about the same extent). That may be the strongest reason for W not to use Reagan tie-ins in the upcoming election campaign, according to this NYTimes analysis. Heck, in this observer's estimation, Shrub is having a hard time measuring up to Poppy.

UPDATE: Andrew Sullivan says Schwarzenegger is the true heir to Reagan's big tent Republicanism.
