This is a speech delivered just barely in Primetime that slipped into the 11pm hour. Arguably the single biggest mistake ever made by schedulers in the history of prime time political conventions. 

It is from day 1 of the 1992 Republican National Convention. It was a convention that had a lot of political battles in it between the conservative wing and the establishment wing of the Republican Party. Our nominee was in serious trouble , ands many members of Congress stayed away rather than allow themselves to be pictured in attendence. You could say it was one of those situations where if it could go wrong it did in 1992. 

However, this speech was the single best speech I have ever heard. I remember being mesmerized by it and by the man who made it. This was the last prime time address given by former President Ronald Reagan. It is everything you would ever want in a speech by the greatest leader of the era. Optimistic, visionary, and inspiring, it had everything a young person, like me who had just turned 21 the day before, could ever want to be inspired by. 

That was the magic of Ronald Reagan, if you are too young to remember it, or if you have forgotten that night, here is your chance to relive it again, as it occured in Houston, Texas. As Peter Jennings said when it was over "It is easy to see how Ronald Reagan held such sway over the American people for so long"
