Reagan might be the first and last Republican they ever tried to endorse , how desprate can they be? Even in Ronald Reagans fim days one of his roles was as an FBI agent that broke up a Klan plot, practicly anti-Klan propaganda.
==================================================
Reagan started his 1980 campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi. The understanding was that there would be no prosecution of the kluxers on his watch, and sure enough, the civil rights workers murdered in Philadelphia were not prosecuted until the Clinton administration.
Most of the old kluxers are deceased, but their offspring are still about, and they are most unlikely to vote for Jindal.
Not that Jindal will get the nomination in 2012.
