That is the question isn’t it. As of right now I don’t think based on those I know that she has the centrist appeal. That could very well change over the course of a long campaign as more and more people are able to get to know her.
Honestly, I don’t know enough about her positions and concrete plans. The persona and charisma is great, but what separated Reagan from other charismatic politicians is that he had the ideaology and knowledge to mix substance with style. I don’t know if Palin has that intricate knowledge yet.
