The notion that Palin is either like Reagan or that the Country is the same as in 1978 just isn't solid reasoning.

R. Reagan would have made a fool of Katie Couric and C. Gibson....Both made Palin look to be one. R. Reagan did not run from his job once it became difficult. He faced those difficulties / responsibilities head on....Mrs. Palin choose the exact opposite path.

Mrs. Palin is right with her politics more often than not....But she is not ready to be POTUS...nor CinC in these dangerous times. This Country is getting a huge lesson right now with Obama in that people who are not ready, should not be POTUS (even, regardless of their Politics).

I highly recommend that you read Craig Shirley’s excellent history of the 1980 campaign. As Shirley points out, Reagan made many mistakes and gaffes, and the consensus of the MSM and the Establishment was that he was either too old or too stupid to be President. Try educating yourself instead of popping off the quitter/Couric talking points. Come up with something original, if you can. The country in spring, 1980 had far more misgivings about Reagan than they do about Palin even after the pounding she has taken. Not until the debate with Carter did he dispel them.
Don’t try to tell me wheat happened when Reagan ran. I lived through it and Shirley has it documented in minute detail.

According to Gallup, the country is a couple of percentage points MORE conservative today than when Ronald Reagan ran in 1980.

If that's the lesson some are taking from an Obama presidency then we are in more trouble than I thought.

Obama's problems have nothing to do with him being "not ready" and everything to do with him being an anti American commie.

Obama was and is ready and able to destroy this country.
