Yeah, it could come off bad if it wasn't done right. If Nancy spoke at the convention, maybe she could say it and it would work.

Doubtful. As we've seen, especially in the last week, Nancy is the guardian of Reagan's legacy. There's nothing to be gained from her trying to leverage GWB's candidacy with it.*
Instead, maybe we could recruit Buchanan to say it instead. I visualize him using the line to exhort the faithful, possibly with a pitchfork in hand. Or maybe an AK-47.

*That's not to say, though, that GWB might not ask anyway. Apparently, he's making it a habit to
request political help from (un)orthodox quarters.

During his June 4 visit, Bush asked the Vatican to push the American Catholic bishops to be more aggressive politically on family and life issues, especially a constitutional amendment that would define marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
A Vatican official told NCR June 9 that in his meeting with Cardinal Angelo Sodano and other Vatican officials, Bush said, “Not all the American bishops are with me” on the cultural issues. The implication was that he hoped the Vatican would nudge them toward more explicit activism.

It seems like only yesterday when Kennedy had to swear that he wouldn't be taking instructions from the Pope. Good times, good times.
