My memory is not that great so please (without googling it) tell me the name of the head of the RNC that “got” Reagan elected.

You remember him? The cowboy that every smart commentator said was incapable of being president?

Yes sir, if it had not been for the RNC that crazy cowboy never would have made it to DC.

I am sure the man that got Ike in as president will never be forgotten for his great work....good old whatsizname, we will never forget him.

Taking the job will not do one thing for Sarah Palin.

The Gipper had many more advantages, pre-presidential run, than Sarah has at this moment. If you count them up, movie star, national speaker for General Electric, TV show anchor, governor of California, etc, Sarah needs more than half a term in Anchorage and occasional TV appearances in the lower 48.
