Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
I find all this Palin controversy fascinating. She is a huge problem for democrats and establishment republicans, because she has repeatedly shown an unrivaled ability to dominate the media. She kicks Obama off the front page. She was even able to revive Oprah, if only for a day.
Anyone who doesn't see a parallel with Reagan is deluding themselves. Like Reagan, Palin has an uncanny knack of connecting with ordinary voters, she is a charismatic speaker and ordinary voters instinctively trust her. Obviously, and like Reagan, she is not a great intellectual or authority on the minutia of government. People identify with her values and trust her to get the big decisions more or less right however, which is a hell of a lot more than we can say for the current incumbent.
As a Ronald Reagen supporter I think its downright disrespectful to compare him to Sarah Palin
