Is Bush Oklahama or Ronald Reagan?

Bill Kristol cites the Oklahoma-Kansas State football game as a possible analogy to a Bush-Dean matchup next fall: “How Dean could win.” Mort Kondracke, on the other hand, draws on the political history of the past 30 years to suggest another analogy that is more plausible to me: “2004 shaping up to be McGovern versus Reagan.” (Courtesy of RealClearPolitics.)
