I often wonder if the folks comparing her to Ronald Reagan have ever heard any of his radio commentary. He was the sharpest, clearest-thinking individual I ever had the honor of listening to. The word "brilliant" doesn't come close to doing him justice. He was a visionary for the ages.

I like Sarah Palin. I think she's a thoroughly decent woman and a forceful advocate for the America we all want back. But Ronald Reagan she is not. The comparison does The Great Communicator (and even greater thinker) a great disservice.

I don't think we do a disservice to The Gipper by comparing Sarah Palin to him. It's only a comparison. No one (that I know of) has said that she is his equal, but she bears such a striking resemblance to the man, that it's hard not to link the two.

Reagan had 20 years more seasoning on him when he ran for the presidency in 1980, than Sarah does today. Give her another 20 years, and she will likely be just as deep as he was then.

I see Palin as a Reagan disciple and heir of the first order, and one who has inculcated his (and the Founders') wisdom as well as we could ever hope to find in a presidential candidate.

It's these, and other similar attributes, that have caused me to give my full support to Governor Palin, should she decide to run.
