I hope the MSM (or at least Rush) makes this comparison.
Teddy Roosevelt's first elected office was gov of NY from Jan 1, 1899 until Dec 31, 1900, after which he became Vice President.

Experience wise, I think this is a valid comparison. Legislatively and executively, I think not. Teddy was quite the progressive (liberal), compared to current conservative Republicans.

Roosevelt also bucked his party and the established order in general.
The parallels are pretty amazing.
I’d call her a Teddy without San Juan.

The more I read and hear about her, the more Im reminded of Theodore Roosevelt. Math, that is exactly how I felt as I watched the Announcement Event.

The new Bull-Moose party. I can see a large trophy head hanging in the Oval office along with the typical family photos. However it would not be appropriate to compliment her by saying “Nice Rack”.

My recollection is that the NY Republican Party then in those days was crooked, and they wanted to bump him up to VP to get rid of him. So yes, I see the comparison.

The way she handles the press, I’m thinking more of Reagan in a skirt!

I hope not. Teddy is over-rated. I’ll skip the details and cut to the chase. He was a media creation. The media of the time (if you can believe it) were as biased Republican (and I don’t mean conservative) as it is biased Democratic today. He increased the size and scope of the Federal government without benefit of constitutional amendment. And so on. He’s popular all right, because he was a populist, not a conservative. Flame on.

Teddy Roosevelt's first elected office was gov of NY from Jan 1, 1899 until Dec 31, 1900, after which he became Vice President. He was elected to a term in the New York Assembly before that.
And for God's sake don't try and make Palin into a Teddy Roosevelt! The media will eat her alive if you do.

“Teddy Roosevelt’s first elected office was gov of NY”
This isn’t true. He was in the Assembly at I think age 26 and fought corruption with then Governor Grover Cleveland. He also served as commissioner of police, but I can’t remember if that was elective or appointive.

I hope so, Theo is my favorite past President.... BULLY!
