“Substance Still Sells, Sarah”

This is actually quite sad. Even Richard Nixon has a groupie or two left.

Tell me, what exactly was the SUBSTANCE behind Richard Milhous Nixon? Seriously. I never really understood it. Contrary to what the author says, it really was all about him.

And to all those PDSers who say Sarah Palin is not qualified to be President, let me take you back to 1968 and Miami Beach. The GOP convention. The experiences two term Vice President, former Senator, former Congressman, Richard M. Nixon was challenged (and very nearly defeateed for) the nomination by the freshly minted Governor of California who had been in office for 18 months (his only political experience):

Who would you have supported? The experienced Nixon or the neophyte Reagan?

I missed news coverage of the convention because at the time, I was in Germany. Being from a Democratic family, I was cool to Reagan at first, but quickly warmed up to him after his speech in early 1968 calling on the Johnson administration to take firm and decisive action after the North Koreans seized the USS Pueblo. I would have supported Reagan in 1968, as I supported him in his subsequent runs for the White House in 1976 and 1980.
