yes he would.
He almost got the entire popular vote in 1984, I am sure he would do it this time around.
Ronald Reagan was very well liked by all Americans.
sigh, those were the days.
I hope I didn't waste any disk space and I truly am serious bout this answer.

This would require a Constitutional amendment first. While I believe the Constitution does not explicitly prohibit a deceased president, he has already served two terms and therefore is barred from re-election by the Twenty-Second Amendment.
Should that come to pass, and all Americans voted for Ronald Reagan in 2008, he would certainly be the first dead president to lead America, unless you count assassinated presidents as remaining president until their successor was sworn in.
This does bring up the question as to whether Reagan would be permitted to reside (live sounds so wrong for some reason) in his tomb, or if he would be displayed at his desk in the Oval Office.

Yes, it would be the first time in American history that a dead person was elected president. The election of dead people usually only occurs when the candidate has died between the time of getting on the ballot and election day, especially when the death occurs too close to the election so that the ballots can not be reprinted with a replacement candidate. However, I seriously doubt that even the Repubilcans would be dumb enough to nominate and already dead person to represent their party in a Presidential election.
As to other parts of your statement, you prove yourself to be a Republican true and true...
You state you have "no patience for those who waste my disk space." This is typical of present Republicans...you do not want to hear dissenting opinions...you feel your opinions is not only right, it is the only opinion worth listening to. Secondly, like the WMD fraud...you statement is based on a false information. Y!A does not store anything more on your "disk space" than any other website.
By the way...one of the Bush's 1st term cronies, Attorney General John Ashcroft, once lost an election to a dead guy. He lost a 2000 US Senate election in Missouri to Mel Carnahan, who was dead on election day.

Yes, and I believe he would make much better decisions than the current President....Of course being dead he couldn't make any decisions, but that would still be enough to best the current President....

*sigh* oh I wish he was back here but thank God he not here to see what a mess democrats make.
As for being President, he would have had to run with a running mate. Since he would be dead, this VP would step in making him the President. Choose wisely.....

Serious answer: are you referring to the ones on
the currency?
Second try: No but a dead Senator might do that.

It's too late to make sense! I would say he was one of the best president when he was alive.

Never, he can't raise his hand and take the oath of office not to mention say "I will".
I know it's a stab at humor but it's also the truth.

That might be nearly as good as voting for "None Of Above".

this is a stupid question. How can someone run if they are not alive? They have to accept there parties nomination, which would be impossible if they couldnt accept it. Plus he couldn't sign ****
