I know exactly what you mean.
Listening to Palin this morning, I was happily surprised with the thought: OH MY GOSH —could this be a Reagan?
Thank you, John McCain.
It seems like all day I was weeping for joy, laughing, and wondering about that same question. It is almost too much to hope that she would signal the rebirth of the Reagan/ Thatcher era, but right now it actually seems possible. What a change from a mere day ago! All the news from yesterday and before that seems so completely outdated!
