Some quality analysis from my Cato colleagues John Samples and David Boaz:
When Samples says “back to Reagan,” it should be emphasized that Reagan was a huge deficit spender, Brown looks to be in the same mold, and that’s not good. And, just judging from last night’s victory speech, I’m skeptical of the claim that Brown didn’t run on national security issues. Anyway, Reagan certainly did, so “back to Reagan,” wrinkles and all, sounds about right.
