Sarah Palin would be the first one to tell she is NO Ronald Reagan. But having said that she has mastered Reagan’s wilderness playbook. learned from the Gipper by dwelling on his speeches and writings (student of the game) and understands what Reagan went through on his way to gaining the GOP nomination and finally to beating Carter decisively in 1980.
Yes, Palin is NOT Ronald Reagan but nobody else is either. 1980 is not 2012. The world has changed since then. We now live in an age of 24/7 cable channels, the Internet and social networking. Sarah Palin is Sarah Palin but she definitely stands, figuratively speaking, on the shoulders of Reagan as she goes forward.
Ronald Reagan is no Sarah Palin,
Sarah Palin has normal kids and married only one time!
