He's got a campaign video that plays up his appointment by St. Ronnie, but doesn't mention the courage it took to resign from the Reagan Justice Department, and which points to his huge margin in his first election, but forgets to add he ran against a man who self-immolated in an angry interview with a beloved local anchorwoman.
