Eugene has his Mary, Hubert his Nancy, Dick has Tricia and Julie-yet those campaigning daughters are raw rookies compared with the girl stumping for California's Governor. Maureen Reagan, 27, Ronnie's daughter by his first marriage to Jane Wyman, has been on the hustings for nearly a decade and raps out a line conservative enough to leave her dad in left field.
