Welcome to Gipperwatch

Ninety-nine years after his birth, and some thirty since he successfully reached the White House, Ronald Reagan still commands our attention and imagination. As his centennial approaches, as the GOP seeks new leadership, and as America tries to evaluate its new(ish) president, Reagan provides regular fruit in Google News searches. This blog hopes to collate these references over the next year (until at least his hundredth birthday next February 6) and comment on Reagan's status in American politics and memory. With luck, and with a bit more care than my last blog received, it should turn out to provide an interesting perspective on things, and a useful resource to anyone interested, ie. me.
