I’m not sure the Dems would have the cajones to attack Nancy Reagan, but this reader does have a good point:

If Ron Reagan’s, Jr.’s speech is meant to be embarrassing to Republicans (though I agree with you it won’t be), aren’t the Democrats doing exactly what they preemptively criticized the Republicans for doing — that is, exploiting Reagan’s death for political purposes? Can you imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth on the Democratic side if Nancy Reagan were scheduled to speak at the Republican conventions?
