“Palin’s negatives are way too high. She would likely lose to Barry. We can’t afford to nominate another weak candidate and let that train wreck of a president get another term.”

Reagan’s negatives are way too high. He would likely lose to Mondale. We can’t afford to nominate another weak candidate and let that train wreck of a Senator become president.

Sarah Palin is not Ronald Reagan. RR was a military veteran and headed a major union when it fended off an attack by the communists. He studied history and political economy for a decade on General Electric's dime. He was a two-term Governor of our largest state. He was very well prepared for the Presidency.

Sarah Palin was Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, and only served two years of a term as Governor of one of our smallest states. She had trouble with basic questions in media interviews as a VP candidate.

Personally, I love her. I agree with her on just about all issues. She's a breath of fresh air in the media. But she's not qualified and wouldn't win.

People loath Obama? Yep, but they need a credible alternative. Don't believe me? Republicans ran the table in Colorado in statewide races and winnable Congressional races, but lost Senate and Governor because of weak candidates.
