"Folklore?" Okay, jourbalists, who brought the Soviet Union to it's knees? Ted Kennedy? LOL

Of course, Lech Welesa and Pope John Paul II had a lot to do with it, along with all the hot (Vietnam, Korea, etc.) and cold war soldiers over the years

Having met the Lady Baroness Margaret Thatcher myself (approximately a dozen years ago), Sarah will thoroughly enjoy this. The Lady is the epitome of classy, honorable, and stately.

If there is any politician in America who has the “Reaganisque” charisma, it is undoubtedly Sarah Palin.

This is a bit over the top. Reagan's popularity wasn't restricted to conservatives. Also, Reagan was very popular outside the US in the non-Communist world and was seen as a strong leader.

This is the one thing I wish Palin fans would stop. She is not Ronald Reagan. To say so diminishes his legacy, and limits hers. Sarah Palin is Sarah Palin, plain and simple. She will be defined and remember for who SHE is, not who she reminds us of.

who brought the Soviet Union to it's knees?

I heard some journalist claim that Gorbachev was the one who freed Eastern Europe from the grip of Communism.

Mitt Romney will now have to get Breast Impants for sure just to stay on the Radar Screen.

Don't Forget she will meet with BiBi as well.

How about an audience with the Pope? Does anyone know if she has that on her docket yet?

There are more differences between Reagan and Palin then similarities. But she definitely shares many qualities with him. Important qualities.

Sarah... don’t get caught up in any Ronald Reagan comparisons and don’t let it go to your head. although flattering as it might be, and how amazing it would be to meet MThatcher, remember to be your own person and not something other people are trying to mold you into.

as long as you’ve given it your all, you’ll have no regrets. you’ll be able to stand on your own feet as your own candidate, and not expected to live up to the standard set by someone else.

and at this time in our country, we need more people like you to defend what the country stood for and keep it on the right track.

I like Palin, but I'm afraid the author of this article is retarded.
