After the 1976 election, Democrats spoke of a "one-and-a-half" party system. The Republican Party was decimated by Watergate and conservatives looked further from power than ever. Few in the late 1970s would have predicted the rise of Reagan or his successful presidency.

Today, conservatives and libertarians appear to face an inexorable left-liberal tide and suffered grim results in the latest election. Reagan biographer Steven Hayward will share his thoughts about the lessons that Reagan's revival of the political fortunes of the right have for today.
