Palin has slowly and effectively built a powerful political and lay constiuency. Name another pol who has ever done this? Name one... Just one . . . Zzzzzzz. I’m waiting.
Ronald Reagan, FDR, Huey Long, Park Chung-Hee, Abe Lincoln, George Washington, Ghandi, Winston Churchill and Andrew Jackson, off the top of my head. Pretty good company, for the most part.
