Reagan too conservative?

Windels claims that she intially thought Ronald Reagan was too Conservative to be elected:

"I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I was not a Reagan supporter in 1976 or in the primaries in 1980," confesses Cathy Windels, a New York pharmaceutical executive who works with think tanks that promote market-based healthcare reform.
"My Dad told me for years that Reagan was going to be president, and a great one. I thought he was too conservative to win," Windels adds. After a stint at the Heritage Foundation, she joined the Reagan administration in 1982.
"By being inside and seeing that President Reagan was such a great leader, I realized my Dad had been right, and I had been wrong. This guy was a once-in-a-lifetime president," Windels says. "What was impressive was that, even at a relatively low level, all we political appointees knew exactly what we were supposed to be doing, and that the mission came from what one colleague called (affectionately) 'The stubborn old man in the White House.'"[2]
