Both Karl Rove and Ed Rollins are being completely disingenuous. They know exactly where this is headed. Sarah aims to follow in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan and his wilderness years (holding no job)from 1974-1980 to the Presidency and a landslide victory and take her case and message to the American people in the next 40 months. The advantage Sarah will have while she is in the wilderness that Reagan did not have is the Internet, the right-wing blogosphere and the 24 hour news cycle.
I agree with your analysis. I watched the replay of unveiling of the Reagan statue in the Congress last night and listened very carefully to Jim Baker’s words about Reagan and all I could think was Sarah is cut of that same mold. Reagan wasn’t a member of the DC elitist but a down to earth person who loved this Country and felt deeply about that ‘shining city on the hill’ and a return of America to greatness.
Reagan was an optimist about this Country at a time when it was split and not much to be optimistic about with Carter as President and before that Watergate. He never gave up that as he had a vision that there would be better days for America.
I see that same vision in Sarah when speaks.
Bump what you said... I think you have it completely right.
