...activists, avoid such a fresh platter of political red meat? The party's dominance starting in the Reagan era - and, yes, Reagan was the most popular figure invoked in New Orleans, as has been the case at Republican gatherings for two decades - was based on the three-legged ideological stool of smaller government, a strong national defense and family values.

On Dec. 2, Edgar Bayardo - a former high-ranking federal police official whose information led to last year's indictment of Mexico's federal police chief and other top cops for alleged narco-corruption - was fatally riddled with bullets by two hit men dressed...
