“Palin is good - but she isn’t battle-tested at the National level yet. Thatcher, Reagan, everyone knew who they were, and they earned their reputation after doing battle at the national level Reagan/Thatcher had failures, and also many more successes and only when we were able to add these up, did we know they were great.”

Excuse me, but do you know what Reagan was doing when he was 44 years old...let me remind you, he was hosting The General Electric Theater and a spokesman for GE.
I am a big fan of RR, but he was hardly politically “battle-tested” at that point in his life. LOL

You’re playing right into the Dems hands.

IIRC, Lady Thatcher was the Minister of Education and Science (or something like that) before becoming P.M.

And it’s not like Sarah is a geek off the street. She’s the most popular governor in the nation. Moreover, she’s a natural political talent.

Think Tiger Woods at the 1997 Masters. They thought he was too young too...

Another bad comparison.

How about we compare when they actually stepped out on the National Stage.

I believe at that time, Reagan had two terms as Governor of the most populous state in the Union under his belt and had left his state with a humongous surplous without the help of Oil Revenues.

He also had extensive writings about policiy positions as well.

Now, that having been said, I like Sarah Palin alot, and if it turns out her views on Illegal Immigration are solid, I am all in with respect to support for Palin/McCain, in that order.
