“Like losing in 1976 hurt Ronald Reagan? Oh, wait....’
Sorry vet but Palin isn’t Reagan. Reagan at that point had years more experience as the multiple term Gov of California.
Palin was in her first term as Gov of Alaska. Right after that she resigned and upped the amount of media gigs she was doing.
I’m not slagging on Gov Palin just pointing out why I don’t think she’ll run.
You touched on the thing I always like to point out when somebody mentions that “so-and-so is like Reagan” solely because of their stance on the issues.
What they leave out is the fact a large part that made Reagan electable, is that he had the skins on the wall, being the Chief Executive of the most populous state in the Country for eight years....That carries much more weight than being a Senator, where it doesn’t require the executive skills required of a Governor, or President.
That’s why I support Scott Walker, Ted Cruz is great, but the fact is, he’s a Senator, and Walker is a Governor who has dealt with, and won over his Democratic opposition. Cruz may be more conservative, but I feel Walker would be more effective in the role. I think the best case is Walker as President with Cruz as Senate Majority Leader.
You probably don’t know this (why should you?) but I worked for President Reagan, admittedly as a young spear carrier, so I’m somewhat familiar with that situation. And she’s the closest thing we’ve had since he left the scene, which is reason 21,095 that I support her.
