They tried to get Reagan to think the same thing. “People think he’s an extremist”, they would say.

true of the liberal/Democrat elite but Independents just plain old liked the guy. Even Conservative Dems liked him. He was eloquent and cheerful (described once as Barry Goldwater with a smile) known for his roles in movies as usually a good guy and was a successful two term Governor. The media had not and could not destroy him. Palin however is NOT liked by a majority of Independents - the media did a great job of destroying her credibility and i dont know how she comes back from it. She certainly did herself no favors with her Tucson response that is for sure.
