Actually, Reagan got involved in government and politics when he was a spokesperson for GE. He later became involved in Goldwater's campaign and politics since 1962. He worked his way up and refrained from becoming a political lightening rod like Palin is.

Palin is what she is by her own doing. She had too little experience and said too much, too soon, especially the controversy that ignited all the ridicule in 2008, her ill fated interview, with Couric. She simply, was poorly prepared or educated in politics. And the results are what we see today. Her popularity is going steadily down. And it is not even close to the level it must be at this stage of the game.
