Folks, you do realize that Ronald and Nancy Reagan couldn't stand McCain
http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/make_believe_maverick_the_real_john_mccain/page/6

\McCain's friends were blindsided by the divorce. The Reagans — with whom the couple had frequently dined and even accompanied on New Year's holidays — never forgave him. By the time McCain became a self-proclaimed "foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution" two years later, he and the Gipper had little more than ideology to bind them. Nancy took Carol under her wing, giving her a job in the White House and treating McCain with a frosty formality that was evident even on the day last March when she endorsed his candidacy. "Ronnie and I always waited until everything was decided and then we endorsed," she said. "Well, obviously, this is the nominee of the party."

2. Ross Perot can't stand McCain either. . .
and he paid Carol's medical bills when she had her accident.

5. And Remember...Nancy Wouldn't Let
Poppy or Babs on the 2nd floor of the White House...couldn't stand them either. No fan of the Regans but you have to admit...they had some scruples.

about.
