I'll be honest. I don't really know who in the republican party would qualify as an
intellectual. However, they've won 4 presidential campaigns in the years I've been
alive and part of that success has been anti-intellectualism. Reagan and Bush Jr.
seem to have gotten by on a projection of strength and regular joe'ism. My over
simplification probably reveals my ignorance, but that's my impression of the big
two republican presidents.
