I was sitting in a restaurant this morning listen to some local (liberal) politician and a union rep talking about Palin and the presidency. They desperately want Sarah to win the GOP nomination so that they can walk to victory in 2012.

"•White House political strategists have concluded—regretfully—that Ronald Reagan is fading and will have little chance of winning the Republican presidential nomination in 1980. Why the regrets? Because Carter's aides are convinced that the conservative, 68-year-old former California governor is an easy target. (April 2, 1979)"

There’s a huge difference between the world of 1980 and the world of 2010.
