We will not see his like again.
It's true. He had a greatness that is rare in history.

But remember what it is that he accomplished. Besides ending the cold war and reshaping American politics he also did this: he reminded all of us that the greatness of America is within each of us.

When people say Sarah Palin is no Ronald Reagan they are right, but they miss the point.

We should not be looking for "the next Ronald Reagan".

We should be looking for the Ronald Reagan in each of us.

And that, in my opinion, is the greatness of Sarah Palin. It is a lesser greatness, to be sure, but it is a greatness that fits the times we live in.

The greatness of Sarah Palin is that she is one of us and that she is living the life that Reagan talked about when he spoke often and lovingly of the greatness that is in all people who are truly free, and in all Americans.

I salute you, Ronald Reagan, and I will always remember what you said about me, and about all my fellow Americans.

Reagan brought a revolution to the Nation and Texas, but I began my journey before that. The first President I voted for was Richard Nixon and have no regret for that either. The Dem defections had already begun when I reached voting age in Texas.

The question should not be is Palin or Joe or ABC or DEF or whomever the next Ronald Reagan. The question should be: “Is this somebody Ronald Reagan would favor?”
