What Would Alex Keaton Do? And How Would He Vote?

It’s been almost 20 years since “Family Ties” went off the air. And Alex P. Keaton’s political idols, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, have each gone off to their deserved places in history. Yet I still get asked a lot — O.K. maybe not a lot but more than twice — whether Alex Keaton would be a Republican today. And, if so, who would be his candidate in the 2008 presidential election.

I ask myself these sorts of questions every morning. "Would Alex Keaton wear pink seashell eyeshadow or twilight mauve?"* or the usual "Would Alex Keaton floss pre-breakfast or post-breakfast?" It only makes sense I would ponder how Alex Keaton would vote. [ WWAKD?]

* Alex Keaton would never wear eyeshadow. It was a trick question.

Forget Alex Keaton. I want to know what Skippy would do!
