From my poor math, Reagan was Governor of CA when he was 55, and became President at 70. Palin was Governor of Alaska at around 42, and was running for Vice-President at 44.

By the Reagan Republican yardstick, she has a very good start, still has at least a good 30 years of Politics in her, and I’m looking forward to seeing how she develops as a political figure.

The Republican elites will embrace Sarah as they did 30 years before with Reagan. The Gipper was not too popular with them either, but they put up with him anyway because he brought victory.

We have a government that is so arrogant, that people feel so disconnected, the American populous will listen to anyone who will speak the plain truth!

Ronald Reagan served two terms as governor of California. He ran for president three times on his own, not as someone’s running mate.

Sarah Palin has served ½ term as governor.

Sarah Palin is a good Republican, but she’s no Ronald Reagan.
